Yes, of course there are millions of alcoholics who never recover and the world's hospitals, homeless shelters and graveyards are full of them.
If you look at alcoholism as a disease rather than a matter of willpower, you may start to get a different perspective. If she had cancer would you be "angry" at her for not getting better? Do you see how all the "incentive" in the world cannot make a difference with the sickest of the sick?
it is possible to detach from the madness of addiction AND remain compassionate. It's not only possible, it's necessary.
