However, being the available taxi to take people to see “him” is NOT part of the program, just helping another newcomer exercise their own self will.

God’s will seldom needs to be explained. Self will always need to be explained.

However, do not let her limitations interfere with your life and serenity. I would suggest looking into how the Alanon Family Groups can help you live a whole and healthy life, whether or not your daughter ever rejoins the family or stays sober.

Just my 2c.

She is now rude to her own family but jumps at the chance to run to the aid of a member. She knows not how to listen but just to lecture. She now thinks that anyone behavior is acceptable or forgivable no matter the consequence to other member’s of her family. I do not understand this. We are very supportive of her and her member friends but what do we do? She leaves her child with AA or NA member’s but accepts anything and everything from us when offered. Then turns around and says “oh I have to take him/her to ??? house because she needs to see him” Why would one choose to surround a child with addicts? Please help me understand this way of thinking.
