Welcome to SR!

I am so sorry about your sister. It is heartbreaking to watch our loved ones continue to choose the bottle instead of life.

I understand that you want to save your sister. I see that you want her to snap out of this and get on with her life.

Unfortunately, I also see that your sister does not want the same.

My heart goes out to you.

Have you ever attended Alanon meetings?
Have you sought counseling from a therapist that understands addiction?

When I came to this website, I had to accept the 3 C's of my loved ones addiction:

I didn't Cause it
I couldn't Control it
I wouldn't Cure it

Those are difficult to accept.
But accepting them gave me control of the life that is mine to preserve: me.

Please keep reaching out for support for yourself during this difficult time.
