Tammy,
I think you are supporting her way more than she will ever know - or even appreciate. My belief has always been that if they really want recovery, they will do anything for it no matter who comes to see them or when. Recovery is never about how anyone else shows support as much as how the addict is doing it - on their own. When I used to go to the treatment center that my husband was in, the counselors there kept telling me to take care of myself and the things I needed to do and that he was fine where he is and didn't need to see us all the time if it would cause the littlest bit of hardship on our time, money and especially peace. That counselor sounds like he or she doesn't really have a firm grip on what the addicts need. A true counselor would actually say to stay away and let them figure it out and find their humility without the gratification of seeing us run around like nuts trying to please them. The boundaries that you set on your end is important for you and your daughter. You have absolutely nothing to feel guilty about - you can't really make any difference in her recovery. I will pray for your peace and strength and you pray too!
God Be with you,
Hulalea
