Have you had a really good heart-to-heart with your granddaughter about this? It sounds as if there's so much wraped up in what's appearing as this single issue, & it's not really just one issue--is it?

What's this with your money being gone? Did you spend it on granddaughters family? Were there promises?

PLEASE don't reduce this to a drink/don't drink issue. Drinking will prevent you from being capable of being able to deal with very real things you must take on. Money, housing ... NITTY-GRITTY TIME.

TIme to show up for life, okay? Go to a meeting. Talk with your sponsor, & if you don't have one--for heaven's sakes, get one. You don't have to be so lonely in all this!

It's not easy, but it doesn't have to be lonely-lonely. With an active sponsor, you have a sounding board who will (1) keep you moving, and (2) keep you moving in the right direction. I can do (1) on my own but for (2) I need my sponsor. You too maybe.
