kisscola, welcome to the laa forum. I believe your asking about a family member? when you an addict no matter what kind of addiction your dealing with you dont just "snap out of it", you work at recovery on a daily basis, sometimes it can takes years to recover. and getting involve with family day would help you understand so much. Al-anon and co-dependent meeting would also help. glad you are here. keep reading the thread that you can relate too. glad your here.

I'll second what Carolyn said - any of the Al-Anon or co-dependent type meetings would help you, since your life has been affected by the behavior of another.
I think it's awesome that you came here looking for help and advice!
