When Pinky decided that she was going to finally recover, we told her that she had to call the kids every single night for 30 days. Then we would DISCUSS whether she could visit now and then. If she missed even one night's phone call, she'd have to start the count all over again.
She actually did it, and we let her come down once a month. Then, when she continued to prove herself, we let her come down any weekend. With the exception of one relapse, she's been pretty good, although she drives me crazy when she's here. LOL
