the greatest gift you can give your daughter is YOU...clean and sober :)

This will be doing the best thing not only for you but your entire family. It's for 14 days? That is not very long, but you will learn so much about yourself during that time. This is surrendering and I know you will come out with a clearer head and a different outlook. I am proud of you for doing this and want to wish you luck. You got all kinds of good advice here so hold your head high and I can't ***** and you no more, lol. This is the start of something special. Hugs.

YES you need to go !!!! It will be a positive thing your daughter will be fine you have a good support system .She will be ok .She will miss you ,you will miss her but you  will make it threw.I think if you do outpatient there will still be the opinion to use getting you in a faculty for a few weeks where you can have extensive treatment for a while it will give you better footing when you get out had are exposed to drugs again

Be sure and let your child know that it is not her fault (or any other family member) that you are leaving for a little while, and that you have a spiritual dis-ease there is a clear and effective treatment for. Or that you have some important biz to take care of and that it has nothing to do with her!! and that you will return!!!!      
The decision between outpatient and inpatient can be the different your success. If you have the opportunity to go to an inpatient treatment program and you have been assessed at that level by all means take the gift of recovery.
You might consider you and your child close while your under the influence but once your clean and sober your relationship will reach an entirely different level of closeness. One that is based in healthy spiritual contact. You are not yourself when your under the influence of substances and you are hindering your child's development through interactions with you when your under the influence. A sober mother is a gift and blessing for the child.

look at this the other way.

what kind of woman do you want your daughter to be ? she is not going to be a perfect one cause none of us is perfect. she gonna have problems to solve in life, she gonna fail sometimes as each other woman in this world but oh, madisonjsmom, if she stands up whenever she has a problem, held her head high and try to solve  it whatever the obstacle or the problem  with whatever the means needed, she is going to be a woman with no fear of living :)

and your are the person who has to teach her this way of being in life . what better way than showing to her this not only with words but with your acts ?

have no more fears. Because  at this time and at this space in your life, you are doing the best  to solve a problem: taking this bloody bull by the horns and showing you are the one controlling your life and this includes the problems you are having now.

don't think you are not doing the best for her, just the opposite. you are showing her the way to live life: without fear of ourselves so don't worry about what you gonna tell her, please, care about the good you gonna teach her and for her future with this decision.

good luck :)
