Mom to 25 year old alcoholic

Hello,

I am gardenfreak.

I am mother to three, but my middle one is the one that is concerning me with her addiction to alcohol and who knows what else.

I need to know how to deal with her.

Both my mother and father were alcoholics, so addiction is not new to me, but when it is my adult child, now that is a whole 'nother matter!

Glad to have found you all.

Welcome to our family. I would suggest you post your questions in the Friends and Families forum. Lots of experience and support there from those who have and are currently going thru similar things.

welcome gardenfreak

I'm sorry for your situation - ultimately your daughter has to choose recovery herself - I hope your daughter decides to do something about it sooner rather than later.

Please do check out our Family and Friends forums as well...AlAnon is another way to get great support and insight
