Good afternoon to you. I ran across you profile and started reading your journal entries and thought you could use a hug. I am from Alabama. I am an older lady (ancient actually( (lol), a mother and a grandmother. I can very much relate to your problems and concerns with your girlfriend because I have a son that is codependent. Not with drinking but with drugs. He is now off of everything, but before he was forced to get off drugs he ruined his life and lost everything he had. He has a masters degree and was a teacher for 10 years. Now he is 40 years old, has two felonies, lives back at home with me and cannot find a job because of the felonies. The only thing he has got going for him now is a beautiful seven year old daughter that visits every other weekend. She is the joy of my life. Her name is Karley. I know how bad you would like to help your girlfriend, but unfortunately until she admits she has a problem and wants to help herself your hands are tied. It sounds like her family is adding to her codependency instead of trying to help her. They will blame the person that loves them instead of admitting they have a problem. They usually have to hit rock bottom before they give up their habit and they will do anything to get it. I don't know about drinking, but they say there are only to ways out of drugs if you keep taking them. Those are death or jail. My son came close to death by trying suicide a couple of times and finally spent time in jail. The bad part of this is it doesn't just effect the addict it effects the entire family and the ones that love them the most. I wish you all the luck in the world, but I am afraid until she admits her problem you are spinning your wheels. I know you don't want to give up on her because you love her and sounds like you are the only one trying to convince her to get help. I hope she gets help soon and things work out for the best for both of you.
Good Luck!!!
Jean
