They have a saying in recovery: "Wherever you go, there you are." Meaning that you take YOURself with you, and it is YOU who are the problem. So maybe what you could do is to let her try it her way, and if she relapses, then perhaps she will have learned the truth in that saying. And if she does not relapse, then all is well anyway. But to convince her otherwise sounds like a long shot. But I would at least try to argue that the location is not going to make or break a person's recovery. Because that is just an excuse, ultimately. It can influence a person, yes. But location is not the ultimate deciding factor. If someone has truly surrendered and is ready to change their life, then the location excuse does not wash. @ confused mom – Well I would agree that location can in fact be a trigger, but also like you are pointing out, it can be an excuse as well.

Is returning to the same geographic location as bad as that if she dosnt go where she used to or hang with old friends? she cant go to a assisted living because she has a caring involved family but we just cant up and move like she wants, husband says at least here she knows who to stay away from isnt that and advantage>?
