My friend is a black out alcoholic. Every day. She drinks and drives places and goes to sleep in her vehicle. A few times she's gotten arrested. So we put one of the devices on the vehicle so we can find her...man.

She doesn't see that she's wrong and says she's not hurting anyone. We almost talked her into rehab but she won't go. She even went to jail for a few days and saw that as a positive life event.

No shit.

I almost died, that's what got me sober. I know nothing a person says will make a difference.

What did you do, what did you see or hear that made you decide to get sober?

I'm sorry.

My friend got drunk and went nuts and ran into the darkness when it was like 12 degrees a few years ago.

I drove to the neighborhood she was last seen in and spent hours looking in every drainage ditch and creek for her.

Luckily one the locals found her collapsed in the snow and brought her inside.

The cops dropped her off at her sister's the next day.

She became hyper religious and mostly quit drinking after that.

I hope your friend pulls through this. It's fucking scary. It was so damn cold while I was searching that after a while it dawned on me that if I did find my friend she'd already be dead.

Few things as unpleasant and tragic as an alcoholic woman.
