If she wanted to quit drinking she would have by now, all she’s doing is stringing you along by talking a good game and shedding some tears. Then mentioning how a psychiatrist might help at the suggestion of someone who isn’t even aware of her drinking problem! Now that’s convenient for her isn’t it?

No she’s not ready to give it up yet.

I think it was healthy on your part to break up with her and move out. But I don’t think it’s healthy for you to remain emotionally involved which is keeping you emotionally attached to her and her issues.

You mentioned having private sessions with an addiction therapist, is this for your addiction to her and your codependency or do you suffer as well from a chemical addiction?

But if she is willing to seek help, I'm willing to show support AS A FRIEND.
That’s secret squirrel codie code for – I’m not ready to give up my addiction yet either or a relationship with this person at any cost to myself.
