Sweetie, there is NOTHING you can do. Only SHE can decide if she wants to quit. You can't help her. She has to hit bottom or lose enough in her life before she finally "sees the light." Some people NEVER hit bottom or decide to quit -- and their's is a sad ending. But there is nothing you can do about it. If you force her somehow into rehab, she won't get what she needs out of it. She will just schmooze her way thru it just to get out of rehab, so she can go back to drinking. Alcoholics are cunning people. But the disease is cunning, baffling and powerful!!!
People have tried things like interventions, but these should be done with TRAINED professionals -- you should never try this alone. More damage can be done to the family AND the alcoholic.
You should go to Al-Anon, so you can learn to live with an alcoholic. They teach you how not to enable the drunk, and how not to lose your whole life to the disease. You can't keep obsessing about this or you'll ruin your own life. Let go and Let God. Sometimes we have to trust that whatever the end result, it was supposed to be this way. We just have to have faith. I wish you the best of luck. God bless. Hugs, Lee
