As a recovering alocholic (date of sobriety 2/17/91) the only thing that could save her now is going to in-patient rehab where nurses and a doctor can take care of her with her detox and cancer. Most are 12 Step rehabs that include therapy that can begin her on her journey if she wants. For me, I couldn’t get sober at home - I had to be away from my environment and away from alcohol. But....I wanted to get sober and cried when admitted and cried when I left after a month. Rehab saved my life. It’s tough and I know many who wouldn’t do what was needed and are either in dead, jail, or instituted. It didn’t take me long to realize that if you want to get sober, you will. If you don’t, you won’t. Also, it’s harder on the families and friends than it is the person. Thank God they have Alanon to attend.

She has rejected going to any kind of rehab center.
