My mother was an alcoholic, she passed away 18 yrs ago. My sister is the alcoholic now, she has been since she was 16-17. She has been in rehab, NA and AA. She stopped drinking when she got pregnant and for about a year after, but now she drinks full board. She is a single mom now, her husband a drug addict and alcoholic also. They are separated, not yet divorced.

About 3 years ago she started going to church with a friend and became instantly involved in the church, was baptized and has all kinds of friends in the church, which is GREAT (I am also a Christian) but the problem is, none of that has changed her drinking or behavior. I had really high hopes that this would bring about changes in her soul, in her life. But nothing has changed. She is still a drunk, a liar, a manipulator. And none of her friends at church know it. Though I don't know how cause if you spend time around her the day after a binge, she REEKS like booze.

Its really frustrating!!! At this point I have no contact with her because she is toxic.
