She is either going to stay on track or not/ relapse or recover
no matter what you do or not, to support her.
This need to be reachable at all times says more about us than it does those who may or may not be seeking their own recovery. Learning how to take responsibility for ourselves is what maturity is all about. This includes sitting with the emotional pain of being scared and loney.
Giving her the dignity of bearing the consequences of her addiction is a gift.
Establishing boundaries for yourself....your own behaviors and letting go of the outcomes is what our recovery is all about.
