thats difficult.

i have known and still do....people that were forced to go to AA through the probation system..ie prison or AA.
some of those people remained sober and continued to attend AA after the probation period....the penny dropped.

if it were me id probably go for that option.....if she wants the help from living at home then shes gotta help herself approach.

closing the door on a child is full of heartache for the parents.
if may be the right thing to do....but it will tear you up......ive seen it.
my mother closed the door on me......and i continue to live on the streets drinking for 2 years....it did nothing to stop me really and tore my mother to pieces.
she aged 20 years in 2.....but that was the advice she got..

dont lose hope.......people DO stop drinking and lead happy content lives..
if they are willing to help themselves

could you suggest coming to Sr for support and advice?

god be with you all...........
