Need opinion about a "friend"

I have been sober about 5 months. I have a friend that i confided in and told her about my alcoholism and the terrible things that happened to me when I was drinking and that I never wanted to go down that path again.
Every single evening she texts me telling me how she is relaxing with a glass of wine. And this past Saturday we went out for the day and she picked up a couple of bottle of wine. When we got to her house she said to me "Do you want some wine, I won't tell anyone". Something took over me, I had a rush of adrenaline and my anxiety was so intense. It was the weirdest feeling I ever had. That night I gave in and drank a bottle of wine.

I know it is ultimately my decision not to drink but I feel if she was a friend and knew the problems with alcohol I had why would she tempt me and tell me every evening that shes' having a glass of wine, I would love to have a glass of wine every evening. I am really hurt and angry at her. Am I blowing this out of proportion?

thank you for reading
