Very respectfully, there is no possible way to know this unless you are drug testing her regularly (and I'm not suggesting that at all). I'm not saying she is using drugs or that I have any idea if she is, but in seventeen years the number of times I've heard people say what you said in both AA and Alanon meetings used to be astounding to me, until I said it about my daughter.

Like most of them, I was wrong. Not all of them were wrong, but the vast majority, including myself, could not have been more clueless about their child's use of drugs and alcohol.

I hope you are right, and I hope I am wrong, but please don't rule it out in such a way as to have your eyes closed to what really could be happening. It would not serve her, and it would not serve you.

Good luck!
