I dunno. It seemed to work with this woman when she realized she'd have to take a drug test. Drug tests seem to be a hot topic here. I think if there was ever a good way to "utilize" a drug test, it's in the way your mother handled it.
"Intuition" and "Gut feelings" can be great, but for some of us, that alarm system has been utterly compromised. I remember when things were bad and I did not trust my recovering loved one, I thought every tiny thing was proof of him using again. Everything. My intuition was fried. Now? A lot better, but when I was in the thick of it, I could not intuit my way out of a paper bag!
