Question by SimplyMe: she’s completely lost control… the alcohol rules her now…?
My Mom has been an alcoholic since I was 6 years old, and I’m now 22. My sister just recently turned 15 and was staying with my Mom for the weekend. On her birthday, my Mom promised my sister she wouldn’t drink. After a while, she started saying, “Just one. Just one.” My sister begged her not to, but she did anyway. One turned into 2, 2 into 4, and 4 into nearly a whole case.
We were supposed to go out to dinner for my sister’s birthday, but they didn’t show up. I was worried, so I went over. When I got there. I found my Mom passed out on the floor in a puddle of her own vomit, and my sister was crying in the corner, rocking back and forth. All she kept saying was, “She ruined it. She ruined it.”
We’ve gone through so many different detox sessions, rehab clinics, AA meetings, everything with my Mom and nothing has worked. She’s really crossed the line this time. She ruined my sister’s birthday. She has no control over herself anymore. How can I get her the help she needs?

YOU can’t. She has to do it herself. Honestly. You tell her that she has to make a choice. you or the alcohol. then leave. and tell her that neither of you will have anything to do with her til she is sober. you are the only weapon you have left.
