I am going thru the similar things with my 21 yo son (unfortunately I cannot divorce him). However I did kick him out for a few months and recently took him in as he is now agreeing to treatment. He know that he will get kicked out again if does not follow through or uses in the home again.

Please understand this is a disease. If she will accept treatment then you should try to make it available to her. You might want to start the divorce proceedings but tell her that if she takes action to correct herself and get into treatment, you will not follow through. Read up articles on enabling. There are some hard ass al-anon'ers on this site, who will be along shortly to provide their perspective. The advise is mostly true and honest (given their experiences) but you need to shape it to your situation. My aim is to get my son into treatment, not abandon him (not ready for that yet).
