It is so frustrating.. Seems like you've done your best and now you've got to accept that drinking or not is your friend's choice not yours. I've lost 2 friends and a sister to liver failure because they had hep c and couldn't manage to stop drinking/using. Ultimately it IS their choice and it is so painful to watch that my advice for you is to focus on you and understand this as one more lesson on how baffling addiction is and how deadly it can become. I couldn't even go take care of my sister because I was in early recovery and her house was filled with drugs/booze... They didn't discover she had died for 3 days because they were so used to her not getting out of bed for days... broke my heart, but I HAD to put my sobriety first... it was a losing situation and I had to accept I was powerless over her addictions.
