(((SS))) - you have a good point...some aren't ready when they enter rehab, but find that willingness while they are there, and the longer they are in rehab, the better chances they have.
Each A has their own bottom, I believe. I also believe that the faster they are made to face the consequences, which most of the times means the family says "enough!!!" and stops giving us places to stay, money to keep us out of jail, etc., the better chance we have at finding that bottom. Sadly, some never get to that bottom, but there are so many of us that do.
Hugs and prayers!
