Hi jjj111, Suki is right, 100% right. You cannot force your sister into a rehab or detox program, inpt or outpt. She MUST desire and want to become sober for herself, not for you or her child or the child's father. She must do it for her. Maybe she is not ready, or is frightened about the process? I also think that the child's father should be with her during the process, to hold her hand, and to watch how it's done and see how a miracle can happen. Is it possible that you or another family member can help watch the child? I wouldn't push your sister, beg her to go, threaten her or guilt her into going. She has to need/want it, good luck, you sound like a wonderfully caring sister. The kind any addict would hate at first, but then love even more once she gets pulled out of this dark place. She will thank you someday, when success and sobriety come a knocking at her door! Gentle sincere hugs to you, TF
