re: Suicide attempt thread sparked a question in my head

You can't help a drug addict, alcoholic, or any other addiction until they want help. They are they ones that have to make that choice.

I've watched enough episodes of intervention to say that this is it. The parents need to stop enabling...how has their behavior fixed things thus far? As my man Jeff Van Vonderen says "we're not going to love you to death".

I also get the sense you might come from a pretty religious family. Religion cannot fix addiction.
