no, i wouldn't invite her to to with you to alanon. those meetings are for you, to help you in your recovery. she needs to find her own way to aa or whatever support she chooses when she's ready to stop. that's my 2 cents.

it sounds to me that you're trying to control/police her drinking. i did that with my daughter, and it did not work..only built resentments on both sides.

you didn't cause the alcoholism
you can't cure it
you can't control it
you do have choices as far as how you allow it to affect your life though.

keep posting! hugs, k
