My son became an addict while away at college but we didn't "see" the warning signs....
we didn't "hear" his cries for help either...
when he talked about coming home, we encouraged him to buckle down and finish the semester....
boy do I wish I could undo that advice

if your daughter is asking for help...hear her pleas
she has probably tried unsuccessfully to get it under control

this disease progresses quickly...
unfortunately, you have a head start on understanding addiction having lived with it before
for me...i was so naive...it took many incidents and set backs before I finally realized what we were up against

You and your daughter are in my prayers
