the bottom line is that she has to want to get clean. Many people have to hit rock bottom before they are truly motivated to get clean. I hope that isn't the case with her, since she has her whole life in front of her. If she gets clean for any other reason than her own decision and realization, then the potential for relapse is even higher than usual. It sounds like she has a good support system with you and your H, and I agree with him: I have seen addicts use up the good will of everyone who tries to help them, until one day, people stop lending a hand. I hope she comes around.
