Welcome to the Board. I'm glad that you found us and posted about you and your sister. Others will be by to greet you, but as is my wont here, I'd like to say a couple of things.
While it's good that your sister has, your father aside, a good support system, you need to prepare yourself for a hell of a ride. Your sister may be aware she has a problem, but that does not necessarily equate to proactively taking measures to deal with her problem.
You will, eventually, need to accept that what she does or doesn't do is out of your hands. You, your mother, your brother-in-law can all want the best for her, but if she's not willing to help herself, then as they say, it is what it is.
That being said, I hope for her sake she does seek long term, healthy sobriety. And my hope for you is you take advantage of both the resources we have at SR and the collective experience that our members have to offer.
Again, Welcome to the Board.
