Back when, I wished the same thing, too. Then I realized that addiction demands it be fed and creates a new normal for the addict and those who care about the addict. The addict is under the influence of substance. What the hell-o was my reason for allowing myself to be sucked into the chaos?

Oh yeah, that fantasy that I could somehow control my daughter's addiction and she would just snap out of it- problem solved.

That fantasy became my delusion of choice.
