I agree w/you about the boyfriend...he has to do it for himself and not just to win her back and have a place to live. I hope she doesn't cave. I'm glad this came to a head before she was in too deep w/this guy. He definitely as a hard and long row to hoe and he has to do it by himself for now.
Ashley is so lucky that you are there and can provide the support she needs. She was young when her father flew the coop and probably doesn't remember how he behaved when he as drunk. She needs to hear from others who have gone down this path and come to realize that they will promise you the moon to get help and stay away from the stuff and how it's a second by second choice not to touch the stuff.
Barb, I am keep you and your daughter in my thoughts and prayers. I hope and pray that she will go to the meetings and listen to what the others have to say. She can't help him...we both know that. I just hope that she is as strong as her mother and can walk away from this experience and know just how lucky she is.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
