Hi and welcome CandleInTheWind

It would be great if love/tough love could beat addiction but the truth for me was that I didn't quit until quitting was my only choice.

I'm not sure there;s anything you can do to make, force or cajole your daughter to quit if she doesn't want to.

Sometimes maybe the only thing left is to love them, without also enabling their addiction?

I can only imagine how lonely and frightening it must be - but you've found a place of support here - and you need no longer go through this alone.

As for now when you're ill yourself - it seems beyond reasonable to me to take care of yourself first. Get well
