After three years sober, my sponsee relapsed and went on a week long bender. She has now been sober 48 hours. I am going to meet her tonight and just wondered if anyone had any suggestions what I should say to her? Right now I’m going to talk to her about going back to doing the things she needs to do to stay sober and to remember where the alcohol took her life and how out of control she was. Also of course I’m going to tell her that she needs to forgive herself and start over. Any other thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds like you've got it pretty well covered. You might try posting this question on the alcoholism forum to get their input as well.

Maybe go back to Step 1 with her.

Also, check with the folks in the Alcoholics forum. They tend to be experienced in these things.
