No, she won't go to AA. She says she is an atheist and doesn't like the focus on the higher power of the twelve step groups. Her DBT therapist doesn't think much of them either.
Nancy, I am amazed how well my difficult child holds her liquor. I wouldn't have known she was drunk if I hadn't used the breathalyzer on her. My clues are that she either sleeps a lot or that her personality gets meaner. She really is a mean drunk.
She worked a full day yesterday and then went out somewhere after she was finished at 8:00. She came home at 10:30 and came to my bedroom to talk to me. I told her that I wasn't going to talk to her if she had been drinking so she told me she would use the breathalzyer and she blew a 0.00.
husband and I are in a wait and see mode. We gave her the eviction notice last week which gave her 30 days so that gives us some time to decide what we want to do. I am curious to see what happens at her DBT appointment next week. If her therapist tells her that she is not doing enough to continue therapy, I think it will be a big blow to difficult child.
