[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 732450, member: 15032"] HMB I agree about the rock bottom label but what that really means to ME is whatever that place/thing is that makes THEM so sick and tired of living the way THEY are living that THEY want to change. It seems anything WE do as loving mothers to shield them from that only prolongs the inevitable. I know it did with our son and many others here have said the same. That is the only thing that truly works. THEY have to want it for themselves. It doesn't matter how hard any of us want that for them. My thinking is all that we can do is to educate ourselves on the disease of addiction so WE know how to act so that we do not enable them. [/QUOTE]
