new here for my daughter
hi, i am here because my daughter said a few weeks ago that she needed to go to rehab, she stayed with me under a week and checked some things out, then moved back to her apartment suddenly. Now she is acting like not much has happened, i think that she is very good at covering when she has been drinking and maybe i just am happy when she is not acting out. i think she started drinking at 13 and she is 21 now, she does not live with me because i wouldn't let her boyfriend live in my house and i just got so tired of finding crap like pot materials and throwing them out. right now it is easy to get lulled into her saying she loves me and not throwing crappy fits, but i still need to deal with it.
in any case, i am glad to be here

Hi and welcome. I can't post links on my phone but further down the forum is a brilliant section for relatives of addicts.
I am an alcoholic in the early stages of recovery (about an hour away from it being 7 days since my last drink) so am not great advice but one thing I would say is you need to look after your well being and sanity before you can help your daughter. So please don't forget to care for yourself.

Welcome. Don't forget to check out the family and friends section. Tons of support here. I am starting my sobriety today. I hope your daughter will too soon. I'd hate off her to be in my position at 30.

We're glad you're here.
I remember a time, a few years ago that I reached out to my mother for help with my addiction, she just told me, "you need to get it together" I didn't..
So its good to see that you have made a step in the right direction, to find understanding, and you can go from there.
Peace.

I'm sorry for your situation but I'm glad you've joined us equanamama.
I made promises to change and backed away from them a few times too.
I hope ultimately your daughter will realise, as I did, the only real choice is recovery
