If she has a personality disorder or is a narcissist, it's almost impossible to cure. Only with a great deal of therapy and admitting that you have the problem to begin with. Obviously that is the issue to start with, so it does not happen too often.

Do some research on the success rates of treating someone with narcissism or personality disorders. It's not good. I don't say that to discourage you, but to make you realize that this is who she is, and it's not likely to change. You say she may recover with this person, but I am going to doubt that. I would guess that she will just go through person after person who will continue to enable her and her addiction. Rock bottom does not necessarily exist, addiction ebbs and flows, gets better and worse for YEARS.

Keep reading, keep writing, it will help you.
