I am trying to help my 30 year old step daughter kick this 8 year old demon. Her father and I have taken custody of her 1 year old daughter (our grandbaby). She binge drinks to the point of nearly dying. CPS is involved, however, they provide little help unless we can come up with 20+ thousand dollars for residential treatment. We will have to adopt our grandbaby in November if she can't figure it out. Her father, my husband, is a delicate cancer patient. I will bear the bulk of raising our grandbaby. I'm so desperate for some help for her. She doesn't want to commit to any long term sobriety. Any input is so greatly appreciated. All the best to everyone!!!

Wow, that is tough for you. Unfortunately, there’s not much you can do to help her if she doesn’t want help. Where is the baby daddy?

There's so many people who want to get sober long-term but can't so until she wants it for herself there's not much hope for her getting sober. You can't force her to.

My advice would be to keep talking to her and trying to help her understand that getting sober is in her best interest. If she doesn't she'll more than likely die sooner rather than later.

I’m very sorry, prayforstrength.
Do you go to Al-Anon? Could be helpful.

I am sorry for what you are going through! I have to agree with others that if getting sober is not her idea, you won’t be able to help her. You can lead a horse to water....
I thin Maudcat has a good idea about checking out Al-anon. Please take care of yourself.
