((((SPLITIMAGE)))))) Look out for #1. It's what we have to do.

I haven't had the experience with A.A........I've chose to go this on my own but, I certainly know I've had to loose a lot of friends over giving up alcohol.

It may get her to make some changes in her life too so it may benefit you both. If she spirals downward, well, then, just be grateful that you were not there to go down with her. I kinda hate to say that because it sounds cruel but, if you have come so far, why stay in something that may throw you backwards?????

I certainly understand where your coming from though. You're a compassionate person and you should pat yourself on the back.
