I was actually looking for the LIKE button on this..
as a guy that formerly attended aa meetings, those things made me want to drink myself to death, plus almost always I saw the people there right after coming out of the meeting going to the nearest gas station for a 12 pack of beer...
I would have zero idea why people would vote YDI on this . This is by far most one of the heartbreaking FYL stories . I hope things will change for your op .:/
Trust me dear, if the person that has the addiction to the substance in question is not truly ready, they won't benefit from it. It very well could be a relapse, but don't let it get to you that much. Be very supportive, encourage her to go again if you want to but don't be pushy. And don't make the same mistakes I did..Yelling at her/causing fights with her won't help. Calmness is key when it comes to these things. I wish you and your mother the VERY best!!

Don't give up hope yet OP, these kinds of things just take time, patience, and a lot of support. Be there for your mother and I'm sure that you can both power through this. As hard as it can be, you just have to maintain the right mindset with these kinds of things. I'm sure things will turn out for the best in the end
Keep supporting her and encourage more AA meetings, you can't get better after just one. Good luck OP.
