Default Worried Sick,Frustrated,and Feeling helpless

I am a single father raising two of My three teenage daughterz,Well My issue iz this, My Oldest Daughter (She iz 20 yrz old)who residez in Washington state haz gone from a major problem with meth since she waz 14,to now substituting the self medicating to Alcohol,She just gave birth to her first chld in June,and callz Me on occasion,only for me to hear Her intoxicated on the other end of the phone,She iz living in a safe environment now,don't get me wrong,and the Baby iz safe with her roomate and her,She iz raising him alone,no father,and I guess what I am getting at here iz i feel so frustrated because she has legal issues az well,and she has been so depressed after having the child alone(all of us were there for birth)and now she is in this struggle because her past wont let her settle down.I have allwayz been an overly protective Father,and this is killin me inside,i know she iz an adult now, but all Three of My Girlz are still My Children,Why won't she take my advice and get treatment? Why iz she gonna wait until it becomez a disaster before she will allow change?They All know first hand what Alcohol/drugz can destroy,nothing good ever haz come from these substances,Why will she not take my offer for her to live w/ me and get help? It iz a clean,safe,and sober environment, I am not rich , but I can and would make endz meet.Any suggestionz would be very helpfull here,and for the record I already know that just becauze i am 14 months sober,doesnt mean "everyone haz to be".I feel helpless and so very frustrated and hurting for her,because when my Girlz hurt, I hurt.
