Just remember they have to hit their bottom and want help. This has been the hardest part of dealing with my Dad. Accepting that only when he wants help them it can work. I can't do it for him or make him stop. His alcohol in has led to dementia so now assisted living.

Bottom line there may be help but if she won't take it there is nothing to be done.
