There is were I have a hard time understanding why a part would hurt the body or us now that they know we are a system. And that we need to work together to keep us safe. He/she knows that becoming dependent on alcohol would drown us. Why would he/she want to drown us after we have all worked so hard to function in the world. To have a close to "normal" life. It feels like the order of things is becoming undone.

Alcohol is a harsh theme for half of the system, but what I can advise you is to talk it out with that part. Maybe he/she doesn't fully understand the system part? Or maybe he/she is rebelling against something. Maybe there is another part forcing him/her? Talk it out with them. Explain them what DID actually means. Explain to them that what they do is not correct and should have limits. Then again you know your system the best. When Waidth started drinking it was because they found peace in the alcohol. They found PEACE in the alcohol... And they didn't fully realize what harm they were doing until Evee explained it to them. In our system talking is key to success. Except with Noah.. If you feel that this part is protecting instead of harming then talk it out with them. If you have a therapist you might also want to share about it with him/her as well.
