[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know you love your sister but paying for her rehab is totally codependent behavior.

I know you want to pat yourself on the back for paying the money but it doesn’t matter if it’s $1 or $10K ... you saving her is a toxic move.

I’m not going to convince you of this on DCUM.

See a therapist who specializes in ALANON.

It would take a whole day to explain this to you.[/quote]

Pat yourself on the back? I’m not getting that from OP at all. Why be nasty?[/quote]

Funny! I'm not being nasty. Have you dealt with addiction. Have you been through Alanon?

You sound super naive.

OP is in for a long hard road and it is longer and longer the more you let people use you. [/quote]

DP, but professional therapists don't specialize in Al-Anon.  That's an incredibly naive comment.  They might refer people there, but they do individual therapy separately (which I absolutely recommend and which can be incredibly supportive for a sibling like OP).  The cost is low, but if in a low cost of living area it may be in line for intensive outpatient (IOP).  People are reacting to OP calling it rehab, but it's really IOP from what s/he's described.[/quote]
