[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 750545, member: 11235"] Yes, my daughter called me after one particularly rough weekend crying and said she thought she was an alcoholic. I seized the moment and asked if she wanted me to come get her and help her find a meeting and she agreed. She attended AA and stayed sober for 18 months, had a brief relapse and has been sober for about a year again now, but she has been pregnant for much of that time. My adopted son is also an alcoholic and he was in terrible shape at one point. He has been sober for a very short time now since just after his wife died (it's a nightmare, they have 4 kids). He talked to me a lot about his addiction and sounded a lot like your daughter. I think it's probably the alcohol and depression that makes them feel so hopeless. I always tried to remember it's the illness making them feel/sound that way and tried to encourage him to seek sobriety but at the same time I knew he had to be the one to seek it out. It's a tough road. Sending peace to you. [/QUOTE]
