Sometimes, you just have to cover your eyes and don't look!

How are you helping your daughter help herself? I see you plumping that pillow under her ass before she falls because you don't want her to hurt herself.

Remember this...

Pain drives their A Train!

When she has had enough pain in her life because of alcohol, she will stop. When the cops call, don't answer. When she's hurt don't go running. When she's been arrested and charged, don't bail her out. When she's raving like a lunatic, let her go. She wants a response and at this point, you're more than willing to give it to her.

No one can stop death from happening. Alcoholics are pretty damn lucky in the sense that most of the time, they create victims and it's usually not them.

You did not cause it.
You can not control it.
You will not cure it.

She'll stop when she's ready and not a moment sooner.

Until then, there is Alanon.
