[quote=Anonymous]I have a group of close friends that I met in a moms' group years ago. I have recently found out that one of them that I am close to is a functioning drug addict/alcoholic. She has hidden it very well but recently has become extremely reckless. All of the girls in the group now know. Her lifestyle includes excessive drinking & drugs every night. She wakes up about noon everyday after the nanny has taken the kids to school, has a relaxing afternoon of lunch and soap operas or a yoga class. Nanny leaves at 4 pm and she starts the drinking/drugs. Her DH is always busy with work and rarely is at home to help out with the kids. Unfortunately it has gotten so bad that she is drinking while the kids are in the car. Open container and all. She is leaving her kids with friends for far too long while she is out partying, etc. Basically she could be on the show Intervention. It is that bad.  We have all talked to her about it and she does not see the issue, doesn't think it's a problem, etc. Her father is extremely wealthy and put her in rehab a number of times years ago and it didn't work. What can be done? Do I just distance myself from her? Try to find some rehab help? I'm not sure how much good that will do given that she doesn't want help. She keeps wanting to get together with the kids but I'm avoiding her trying to figure out what to do. This is all new territory for me so am wondering if others have been through this with a good friend or family member? What can be done?[/quote]
