[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 750469, member: 17720"] When my son was admitted to his first rehab, he acknowledged for the first time that he had a problem with alcohol. We were hopeful it might be the start of his recovery. In many instances, it is. Unfortunately, in Son's case, he uses that acknowledgement to solve logistics problems or excuse bad behavior. If he needs a place to stay, he will find a (usually faith-based) rehab or shelter and recite his story of fall and redemption. They will take him in for awhile until he's back on his feet, then he's off again. Or he will offer back-handed apologies/excuses, saying, "I was drunk, so I don't even remember doing that." I hope for your daughter this is a turning point. I think it takes a lot of courage to say it and mean it for the first time..."My name is XXX...and I am an alcoholic." [/QUOTE]
