If I were to go to any kind of counseling it would be for my marriage lol! I have three kids and I don't leave them with anyone so I couldn't go to meetings, even if I wanted to. That's been suggested before, my brother also suffers from alcohol and substance abuse addictions. My Father died an alcoholic too, it seems to run in the family (some people believe it can), I'm grateful it skipped me, but I also worry about my kids. I will soon have a teen in the house and I've heard that most users start during puberty.

She will be coming out of rehab soon, I guess that's why there is a sudden onset of worry. Last time she came out of rehab she had to go to a half way house. She gave the therapist such a sob story of how home sick she was. They thought it would be better for her mentally if she were home. She probably will have to go into a half way house again. I think the therapist and probation officer are working on that.

Thanks for all the responses, it's nice to hear that there are people that have beaten this addiction thing.
