danf,
I agree that Lisa has to make the first move herself, no one can or should try to force her to get help. But I would ask that you don't generalize your statements about no one here being able to help. I have to assume that you are not an alcoholic by your comments, if I'm wrong please correct me. After the admitance of the problem, a good support structure is critical to a succesful recovery. Without that, I would not be alive today. A lot of people here have offered to support her. That is one of the greatest gifts that we can to someone. If you don't feel that you can help, fine. But from the looks of things, there are others of us here that feel that we can, and are willing to do so.
Lisa,
I know what you're going thru is hell, I've been there. There is hope. Almost everyone here has offered their e-mails to you. Take advantage of the love and support that we are offering if you feel that you can. We've traveled your road before, we understand. We can offer support, but you must provide the action to make it happen.
I have you in my prayers and hope that you can use us to help you thru this terrible time. My e-mails are as follows:
dcguy@home.com (home)
gwhite@cadence.com (work)Give me a yell if you need some info, or just need to talk, anytime!
A big hug to you,
Greg
