I know how hard this is, but bringing her home won't stop her. She still drank and went out when she was living with you before, so what would be different this time? She is a legal adult, and you cannot force her to move back home, and even if she did, what would be different? If she wants to drink and party, she is going to drink and party.

I know how much you love your daughter, but hearing these things does absolutely no good and only keeps you torn up. It would be better if you didn't know what all she was doing. We cannot love our children into health. If we could, none of us would be here and SR wouldn't exist.

I don't recall if you are attending al-anon meetings, but if you aren't you should, and if you are, maybe you should go more frequently. Having support from others who are in the same situation can be very beneficial. All you can do is take care of yourself, and I hope you will get some help so you can do that.
