People with addictions are usually the last to see the consequences of their actions. They don't see anything wrong with what they are doing. One of my co-workers has an alcohol problem. She often comes to work hung over. On more than 1 occasion I know that she's had a cocktail or two during lunch. Having a social drink is one thing, but drinking with the intentions on getting hammered each and every time is another.
Did I mention she's only 20. So she shouldn't even be drinking yet. Her parents threatened to put her in a place that offers alcohol and drug treatment. That straightened her out for a bit, but she's been partying it up lately. What she doesn't realize is that everyone is just trying to help her. We're not saying that alcohol is bad or even evil, we just want her to recognize that moderation is the key at least for those of us old enough to drink that is.
Stop your addiction has a 28 day rehab in Michigan that I think would be good for her. It's long enough to get her to stop, but not so long that she'll rebel too bad. It's also away from home so she can get away from her loser friends for a while. Once she's had some time apart from them, maybe it will open her eyes to see they don't really have her best interests at heart. One can only hope.
