She knows how you feel about her drinking, no matter how she spins it to you. And I don't know about lovingly detaching from an active alcoholic. It seems you did it peacefully. Be happy with that.

Alcohol is a whirlpool. It's sucking her in and your relationship with her is dragging you in too. Swim away.
