MadQuilter: Very good answer. You are so right.
Naturalmamma: Your sister already knows how to find another sponsor if she wants one. That is something learned at their first meetings. Some have more than one sponsor. May I suggest Al-a-non for you. It is a program for family and friends of alcoholics/drug addicts. It is a program for people who are affected by another person's drinking. You can find a meeting near you by looking in your local phone book under Al-a-non or by doing a search online. Good luck to you and your sister.
