[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you are doing a lot right, OP, so good job. Your child coming to you in the first place is incredible, and it seems she is getting the help she needs to understand that, for her, there's just no "safe amount" of alcohol. For whatever reason, her brain is wired for alcohol use disorder. That sucks for her given how prevalent drinking is in our culture, but knowing is important. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/21/well/family/Teenage-drinking-alcohol-disorder.html As for navigating the friend groups, I'm pretty surprised by how prevalent drinking seems to be in this story, and I agree that a change in venue might be helpful. With that said, I do find the Youth of Today pretty open-minded. How would your daughter feel about flat-out telling her closest friends that she has "an addictive personality" and she'd prefer not to drink or be offered drinks? [/quote]
