Friend drinking to much!

[Meaplus3]

I'm very worried about a friend of mine. I posted about her once before, she was having some issues in her marriage and was online all the time. Anyway, I ended up confronting her about the online thing and it lead her to MC so it did help her out. Now, I'd like to bring up the drinking but I'm not sure what to say? IMO, she brags about how much she drinks and thinks is so cool. This is a grown woman with 1 baby and a small child. Her actions when drinking IMO are very childish. I'm worried she is headed down the wrong road and I don't want to see her get into trouble. Any advice would be helpful.

whatever you do mea... be careful!

 

i know you know how it is when you are in denial, especially when drinking is the issue. and i also think it is hard when it is a friend and if there are kids involved.

 

is her husband likely to be supportive and stern?

Hi LB. I ended up having lunch with her and I brought it up when she went to order a glass of wine with lunch.. it was sort of a perfect way to say "Ummm.. it's noon and your ordering a drink?" And I knew this would be effective because each and every other time her and I have had lunch she always has soda or tea. Anway, she laughed and said "You know your right. It's a bit early for the wine". then she ordered a soda. She went on to tell me that she feels she's been drinking to much. I told her I understand and if she want's to talk more about it I am there for her to listen. So, I managed it. Glad I brought it up and let her know she can count on me. Oh.. and yes, her h is very supportive. They are doing well in MC.
