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?

Find a sympathetic judge and a good cop. Take the cop out to where she is so he cam arrest her and get her in front of the judge who will order her into rehab or else it is prison.

It's basically come to that. Thanks, I'll recommend this even though it'll be a social blow to the family.

A social blow is temporary, and will be a good thing if she gets the help she needs. If she kills herself or someone else, that is permanent.
