Seeker - my wife is an alcoholic, and our marriage is ending after 13 years and 4 beautiful daughters. She has been to rehab 3 times, to jail, been in a car accident with our children, acknowledges that she is an alcohol, but is convinced that she will now stay sober if I am not longer allowed to control her. I would strongly suggest a few alanon meetings for you. You cannot save your girlfriend, you will only become the object of her anger. Believe me, it's not a great experience. Be thankful that you learned about her challenges early in the relationship, keep her in your prayers, but RUN FOR THE EXIT NOW.
It is truly life altering to repeat the Serenity Prayer each time you think about interfering in someone's life -
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
Good luck and focus on getting yourself emotionally and physically healthy.
