I am sad tonight. An exceptionally find person person who was solidly sober, first decided she didn't need AA, and now is drinking. According to her she has it under control.

She is very young so there is a remote possibly she is not an alcoholic. I have heard her story and the possibility of her not being an alcoholic is between slim and none

God I hate this disease. She is beautiful, charming, and intelligent. What a waste. What a horrible waste

I hope that your friend understands that she is very likely not in control. Prayers for her to find her way back.

Sad. :-(

I'm sorry to hear what you're going through. It truly is sad to see someone go back to what probably is a bad place. And you know as well as all of us that there's nothing you can do until she wants to stop. That's the most frustrating part of it. I think we all need to find out the hard way that moderation is not an option.

She knows the drill and that is what is so sad. All I can say is cunning, baffling and powerful.

That you for the prayers because at this point it is all any of us can do.

Ugh, prayers. This disease sucks

I am so sorry, keeping her in my thoughts and prayers.

So sad, MIR, let's hope and pray she realises in time.

Those little receptors in our brain don't go away, they just lay dormant. We have to be stronger than them and have many tools.

Prayers for your friend MIR.

I only hope that your friend realises quickly that she is indeed alcoholic

Sending prayers Mir & that's for everyone in a similar situation even the guests here at SR who are thinking about quitting

Thinking of every alcoholic struggling on the planet right now
