[quote=Anonymous]OP, with what you’ve said, the “Co-dependent No More” Book might be worth a look. Beyond that you have to decide what boundaries you want and then enforce them, realizing that it may cost you the friendship. Some possibilities: 1. No financial or other help available except to promote recovery (e.g., a ride to a meeting). 2. No association when the person is under the influence or hung over. 3. No discussion of the problem (i.e., “leakage from the recovery program where such matters should be addressed). 4. Zero tolerance for alcoholic behavior (lying, blaming, controlling, mooching, raging, big emotional outbursts, etc.) It is helpful to remember that once/when the disease is in charge, you’re dealing with the disease, not the friend who formerly inhabited a certain body.
