I’ve pushed my mom into going in the past for some support but she doesn’t seem interested. I think she doesn’t want to be bothered by people telling her one thing while living a nightmare on the other. I dunno.
She is overly emotional, Even after 25 years of this crap she has no idea how to handle it.
In her mind reasoning, yelling, hiding it and guilt trips are the answer.
It doesn’t work.
you cannot reason with an insane person.

I’m gonna check out Ala-Non again and try to get her to join.

Thanks.

No. Ala-non is for YOU. It’s for those who live with alcoholics. Listen ‘’mowowie, I’m a recovering alcoholic. You can’t get your mother sober. You didn’t cause the problem; you can’t solve but YOU can stop being a victim(and an enabler, more to that later) but YOU need to go to Ala-non for You. Please go. You won’t regret it.
