I love my sister but she is a nightmare when she has drink taken. She didnt drink for 2 years but she fell off the wagon at the weekend. mainly what she did was text and phone my other brothers inlaws and accuse my my brother and his wife of being basicially unstable – she also told a good few family secrets to these people who no one gets on with. She is now very upset, crying all the time – hates herself and is in dispair about her drinking especially after doing so well for so long. she is back at her AA meeting today. what can i say to her honestly that will help her. i hate her on one hand know she cant help it on the other and feel sorry for her. help please. ps when sober she is the nicest person one could meet. thanks all
is there anything i can say to put it all into perspective for her – she is so upset- and she hates herself so much. it was an embarressing stupid thing to do but she sure is suffering for it now thanks

It sounds like you are doing all you can for her. You are there for her, supporting her. Make sure she goes to all her AA meetings, and if she doesn’t, you could always suggest rehab or therapy.
Well i will tell you this. My sister was an alcoholic and I beg my bro in law to take her to rehab and he got pissed off at me and told me he was her husband and he would handle it. She was dead in less than 3 years after. She died at 37 from being an alcoholic. Do the right thing now and you will be rewarded in the end
AA
Be as non supportive as you can possibly be – do not be a facilitator – lend money, make excuses, or in any way support her drinking – no matter what.
