Here is a posting that I have found to be invaluable.......especially, when the subject of going to treatment or not comes up.
"10 ways to tell when an Addict or Alcoholic is full of crap."
In m y opinion, it is just good information to have when one is wondering what is REALLY going on in their loved one's head.
You can find it by going to the "stickies" listed at the top of the main Friends and Family page.
Go to the one titled: "Classic Readings". Scroll down until you find this article.
Let me know if you can't find it. I can help you.
