^^ What she said. It has nothing to do with you personally Kaika; it just happens to be the way these things work. Any therapist would tell you the same thing -- when it comes to fighting addiction or even just stopping recreational substance use by a non-addict, it HAS to be because they choose to for themselves. It has nothing to do with whether she loves you or not or how much -- and frankly it would be very unfair of you to put that on her, like a form of emotional blackmail (again, no offense and nothing personal here, just saying how these things work.)
