[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 567529, member: 59"] Welcome luvalabs. I can't tell you whether your daughter is an alcoholic or not but the fact that she got a dui and has been kicked out of one rehab for stealing and has admitted to drinking excessively tells me something isn't working right. I will tell you that when my daughter went into rehab at age 19 we were shocked at what we found out she had been doing when we thought she was safe in bed. Towards the end we found her sneaking out but she had been drinking and smoking pot since age 14 and we never saw her drunk until the end. She also was drinking a case of beer a night and I have no idea how she got the money for that except I do know she stole money from us in hindsight. She also has announced she is not an alcoholic and just likes to drink. But she has lost every job she has ever had either because of drinking or drug use or stealing. Excessive drinking causes one to make poor judgements and disrupt their lives. If her life is being negatively impacted by alcohol then she is an alcoholic. Have you spoken with her counselor int he first rehab to get her/his perspective? What she in school or working before she went to rehab? Was she managing her life successfully? Are you second guessing whether you should take her out of rehab? She hasn't asked to leave so it would seem that she believes she should be there. How much longer is the program? When she comes out, if she does not stay in the program, you will quickly see whether she has a drinking problem or not. Nancy [/QUOTE]
