That is true but with one possible exception, an INTERVENTION. Interventions can be successful and get the addict on the road to recovery. An intervention "raises the bottom"

If everyone has told her that he drinking is killing her, then she is no doubt aware of it. I would not enable her in any way. It is clearly ripping your life apart, so the best you can do for yourself is decide what you are willing to accept from her. If she decides to drink herself to death there is nothing you can do about it.

I know it's hard to let go. I have my own issues sticking to my boundaries, but it will be easier to accept her choices if you take care of yourself.
