It might be that your parenting duties and your spiritual journey are one in the same. Confronting a friend about this level of drinking might serve both of you. Either way, you won’t be able to continue in your journey as is, not just because it’s unhealthy, but because it’s bothering you so much.

My opinion – you’ll need to talk to her about it, and get ready for a very negative reaction; folks who drink too much don’t like talking about it. But if you can commit to sitting through a few really unpleasant encounters, she might see that you love her and want the best for her.

Either way, it’ s a tough situation to be sure. I wish the best for you.
