We discussed my idea to contact me and talk with me if she is feeling overwhelmed with events and "needs" a drink. She claims to have discussed this with her therapist this week. And the therapist suggested she try it. What can it hurt?
i don't think this is a good idea, zrx. this should be the role of her AA sponsor, someone much more qualified to talk her down than us.
plus, she quite obviously does not want to quit drinking yet. she is continuing to drink and lie about it.
my vote would be hands off her recovery. support her, of course, should she decide to get serious about it....doesn't sound like that is the case right now, tho.
