Hmmmm...well, given that alcoholism is a progressive disease and will only get worse as time goes on, I guess it depends on what you want out of the relationship.
Maybe take some time and read some of the posts in this section of the forum and see if you answer that question for yourself?
Also, I guess, ask yourself why you are concerned about abandoning someone who apparently is unwilling to take care of herself. Do you see yourself as the white knight riding in to save the day and the maiden? Again, do some reading here and see how that has worked out for others. I suspect you'll begin to formulate your own answers to your questions.
Welcome to SR, and I hope you find the help you need.
