My friend from childhood is very fond of the drink. I like a good night out like the next person but wouldnt drink like she does. In the past few years she has had drink every day.We used to go out about once every 3 months for a mad night out and keep in touch by phone other than that and were close. If ever she had a family crisis I was the first she would phone and Ive been there for her through thick and thin. I became very ill 3 yrs ago and she did call to visit me once(drunk) and kept in touch by phone but now that I am as recovered as Im going to get and cant drink she has kind of dropped me. She wasnt there for me at all through my illness and since. I know a drinker has only one friend but Im feeling very let down. Should I confront her? I know it will be a waste of time but im quite annoyed.

Yes I think she feels Im not like her anymore as my life is more settled now and I have said it to her in passing and she knows she is ruining her life in every area but has gone beoynd caring.

@Raj7779 it's good that you gave her an advice. That's the least a friend could do

I can never understand how people can drink to excess as it would just make me ill all the time. You could say something like 'You're hitting the bottle hard these days, are you ok?'

Let her go if she was just there to get some comfort while she was never around you. I think she was just using you and then be on her own when she's better. There are problems that she needs to sort on her own.
