sofa, my MIL is a functional alcoholic and one of my SIL's has a master's in psychology, is a certified addiction counselor. MIL is 81 and fell one time so bad she needed surgery. She laid at the bottom of the basement stairs overnight, before BIL came over for his daily check in.
To make a long story short, there was an intervention in the hospital, MIL attended AA for 30 days, sold huge family home and moved into one story home, and still pours the first drink at 6pm sharp.
Everyone had to learn to let go, and only do for her what they normally would, given her age. Though nothing traumatic has happened since that day (that we know of), everyone is prepared for the worst while continuing to hope for the best.
It took about 20 years for everyone to collectively get to that place. It's a very large family and outside of SIL and me, none of them work a program and took the long road. You have the advantage of already working recovery, please keep on keeping on. It will save you again
