i've thought alot about whether i should post about this but i'm concerned and i have to....... my friend and coworker got her 3rd dui a couple months ago (she's only 24). she passed out at the wheel and hit another car. she told me she doesn't remember anything before waking up in the hospital. well today she went on this rant about how she doesn't have a problem with alcohol, she just needs to stop driving after drinking and everything will be fine. she says she still plans to go out to the bars and get wasted, she just won't drive anymore. she's going through a tough divorce and has a 3 year old son, and i tried to tell her that she could lose her son if she doesn't try to get sober and change things (she only has partial custody right now, and things are bitter with her ex, and her court date is coming up) , but she wont listen. she is in alcohol classes but she just laughs about how stupid they are. is there anything else i can do? i know she loves her son but she refuses to admit that her drinking is a problem. she acts so nonchalant about everything i feel like she's in total denial. and i'm also afraid shes going to lose big in court and i don't know what she'll do if she loses her custody of her son. but i feel helpless because she's so insistent. any advice from anyone?
