Dear jmartin, the most promising part of your post is that you already have plans for attending alanon. Your recovery program is just as important as hers.

You are prudent to be cautious about getting your hopes up too high. Even those who do seek permanent recovery often relapse--sometimes more than once before they "get it".

A red flag is if they are saying all the "right things". That can be a manipulation to get everyone off their back.

Please don't drive yourself crazy with the "What ifs" at this point.

There is a good reason for the saying: "One day at a time".

sincerely, dandylion
