I am in no way any kind of expert, but I can't name & count the number of resources I have read/watched about addiction over the last few years. Every single thing I have ever seen states that interventions are only successful with those who are READY to get sober. All in all a forced intervention/detox rarely, if ever, leads a person to long-term recovery. I have come to think of interventions as another form of an ultimatum, personally.

It sounds like she has an intense binge cycle established here - how long do you think it's sustainable? Do you think she's considering early retirement because she sees the handwriting on the wall herself?.... that she can't continue to moderate bi-weekly like this & hide her habits in a professional environment, but that staying home will allow her to progress to the next stage of her addiction quite comfortably?
