She's quacking. She has to address the alcoholism as well as the bipolar if she's going to have long-term success.
I think for most of us, the mental health issues and the alcoholism were very intertwined, but that's no excuse for not addressing the alcoholism.
You said she stayed sober for 7 years at one time, and that tells me she does have the tools for recovery.
She may pick those tools up...she may not. It sounds like she isn't willing to, and will be headed for another drunk in the future.
Sending you hugs of support!
