Your enabling has accomplished nothing, and, will not cure or save her, she is an adult, her recovery is totally up to her, until you let her fall to her knees, she has no chance of getting back up on her feet and becoming a responsible member of society.

I know that you want to help and that you are in pain, however, all her the dignity to find her own path in life, enabling is not the answer, it only delays one from reaching their bottom. I agree with TJP step away, go about the business of your life.
Sadly, you and TJP are right. We took her to the ER tonight because we thought she had OD'd. She was totally unresponsive when I arrived and my husband had been with her all day. She gave the addict her address. I read the texts she exchanged with him. Turns out she was unresponsive because she was DRUNK. 3 times the limit when we got her to ER. Just now learned she was positive for cocaine and opiates too. Says she will go to rehab. If she changes her mind when they discharge her, I have to walk away. I really believed she was serious about getting better. She said she wanted to get away from the abusive addict, but she called him and told him where to find her.
