My cousin who is very late twenties, who I'm very close to had a bad break up last year. She's been single for a year now and I'm worried about her drinking.
She drinks to excess every weekend and gets black out drunk.
She gets into a state where she ends up calling me because she's stranded at 5am.
Tried to harm herself drunk. I've had to call ambulance.
I've picked her up from random people's houses.
Walks alone at night and walks off from friends.
Gets into arguments with random people on nights out as she turns lairy sometimes, I'm concerned she going to get into a fight at some point.
She makes stupid and horrible decisions drunk, I won't mention here but they're not nice things when drunk.
She's upsetting family members now as her drinking is affecting things she planned to do.
She can't go for a few drinks without staying out until 5/6am every single time.
She keeps telling me about it, and I am always there for her. But I'm starting to get really drained and tired, and almost resentful because she tells me she will change and that she wants to stop and then later that day she goes out again, starting drinking at 4pm until the next day.
I try to advise her, and I try to help her. She won't help herself.
It's only at the weekends, she has a very respected job so it's like she's living two lives.
What can I do? I'm now expecting, and I really can't emotionally cope with this anymore as I can't deal with the stress but feel guilty if I don't.
