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?

Sounds like she's trying to kill herself, without 'pulling the trigger.' She's just stuck on the 'tying the knot' part. You can keep chasing after her and cleaning up after her or you can sit on the sidelines. Damn, tough call. Hope you can get through to her.

She said she didn't care if she died but, that's not it. She's drowning her sorrows and lost marriage, etc.

Thanks, hope she survives this as well.
