First of all AA is anonymous. If she did go and stopped drinking then she would be in a lot less danger of losing her daughter. You could go with her. If she doesn't she may injure her daughter by possibly driving drunk.

The other thing that she is totally not taking into consideration is that her daugther is watching her behavior and it is affecting her daughter and well, is that really fair to her daughter?

As a child of a binge Alcoholic I can tell you I still suffer and did all the time growing up, ask her, does she want that for her daughter? Children are not drones you know they do know something is wrong and they do not feel safe when they see the actions and moods of the alcoholic.

I wish you could print this and show it to her. Her disease WILL take everything away from her. She can get better by AA and they are very supportive. It is not a crime to go to AA, it is a crime to drink with a child. You could offer to take her to a meeting and if you really had to for some reason say she was supporting you.

Although I don't like lieing, but they do lie extremely well and hurt anyone that gets in front of their problem.
