10. Me too. I'm strongly encouraging her to do that.

If it wasn't for a new job (for her) and her dad, who thinks getting her home and to work will remove her from the environment and all will be well, I'd put her in rehab.
As for removing her from the environment: her first two days were bad and all she had were three suboxone strips, so she checked her bank account, made a call, and that night 4 more strips were delivered.. just that quick. 100 mile from the city and her old environment. I was furious, but it was suboxone, I checked what she got, but just how fishy does this sound? I've taken her ATM card away and will take every paycheck, but I'm afraid she's not as motivated as I'd wish.
As for Alanon, yeah I hear you. I'll need support if I ever get to the point when I'll have to just cut her loose. Thank God she's smart enough to not get pregnant, for now at least. `
