I shared your letter with Charles Rubin, author of “Don’t Let Your Kids Kill You: A Guide for Parents of Drug and Alcohol Addicted Children” (2007, New Century Publishers). Rubin says, “You must take a firmer line and tell her to get a full-time job or work full-time hours within a specific time frame. Tell her, ‘If you’re smoking, you obviously won’t be able to get that job and I won’t be able to offer you housing any longer.’ Give her a deadline and calmly stick to it. In addition to preserving your own self and health, you have the opportunity to influence her by your example.” [September 2012]
