Your feelings are no less important than anyone else's here.
It really sounds like this little gal has a long ways to go before hitting a bottom.
I was 28 when I ran out of gas.
I was literally physically dying when I was taken to rehab.
I will also tell you that after 4 years clean/sober, I did drink again.
There wasn't a thing anyone could do about it.
Like this gal you know, I quit doing the things that had kept me sober and the end result was 2 months of sheer hell out there.
No one saved or rescued me.
When I was done hurting, when the pain of drinking outweighed the pain of climbing that long flight of steps to my home AA group, I got sober again.
She knows where the solution is.
Keep her in your prayers.
