Can you not start legal proceedings to recover your lost revenue? This might shake her up to realise she cannot carry on as she is. I am 5 years sober. It was very difficult to stop drinking. I paid £9000 at one point for a 28 day rehab. I only had that money out of my late mum's estate. It was a haven for me and I looked so much better at the end of it. That said I was drinking again about 6 weeks later! Now when I actually stopped I was begging Drug and Alcohol services to admit me. I was unable to cope with looking after myself at home. I will forever be grateful to have gained access to the only rehab bed in my local NHS hospital. I stayed there for 3 weeks and have not lifted a glass since. Underneath the drinking lay significant mental health issues. I wish you luck with your decisions. I only made it because I wanted to be sober. I had my own home and sufficient income that I could have just drank myself to death had this been my wish. I chose life and do not regret it. I really wish there were more recognition of this illness as a terminal one.
Things you find stressful that other people don't notice.
