Most a people don’t the willpower every day to make permanent change—that’s why they remain stuck in their groove (e.g., alcohol abuse) despite occasional good periods. With diet, when people are ready to change they seek exercise groups, running partners, teams, coaches etc. to direct and keep them going. What outside resources are you leveraging to stop alcohol abuse? AA is popular. You’ll be assigned a mentor you can call when those days hit instead of pulling out a bottle. 12.75% suffer from alcohol abuse. Your family already knows. There’s no shame in seeking help.
You already said it—this is why she wanted out. Is that a prompt to change?
^^^Well said, CW. Seek out a support network to help...great advice.
