If there's one thing I can say about her is that she hates being called out on her sh-t. Yesterday was a day from hell. Thanks to you all for your words of encouragement and support. She is back to her meeting today and determined to follow the path to sobriety. There is no point in trying to get her to understand that a "slip" is really a conscious decision until she is ready to do so on her own, and i doubt it will happen anytime soon with her aa friends cheering her return as if slipping is a badge of honor. It's the lying I have to most trouble with. I guess that's part of the recovery eh? It's become such an ingrained part of how she deals with things. Hard to break that habit.
