I'm afraid unless she admits to herself she has a problem, there is absolutely nothing you can do for her. It's tough but you may have to sit back and hope she finds her gutter.....a level that she will not let herself slip below. This is painful for a family to watch but I know from bitter experience that until she becomes aware of the damage she is doing, then she will continue to drink. Pleading and bartering is pointless. She is drinking to escape a craving beyond her mental control. So try not to get angry. It won't help.
Perhaps you should consider Al Anon for yourself and your family who will help arrest the spread of the family illness and teach you to let go with love.
I'm sorry I can't offer any better help. My advice doesn't work. It never did but I have a wealth of experience on this subject. I celebrated 14 years of sobriety two days ago on the 20th.
My heart goes out to your sister, your family and yourself.
I wouldn't stand at home but I do here because I know how much the Irish love to stand to attention when they're told to. I guarantee ya, no Poll Tax Riots here. Yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir.
Hi Lassie. Me again and I know you're no Troll but like a lot of people I can't get my head around this. You paid for an event you couldn't attend and the tickets were purchased on your behalf. So there are 2 unused tickets floating around. If yer man refunds you the money for these then he is 70 euro out of pocket. Why should he be?

Now you are one of the last people I would have expected to take my side on this so thanks. The Winter Solstice is just another ceremony that Christianity chose to hijack in order to overlay the existing religious practices with it's own as it over ran the known world massacring anyone who stood in its path. The fact of the matter is that the birth of Jesus was actually on April 17th.
We are all Pagans underneath and many of the traditions we use come from that such as Yule logs, 'Christmas' trees, holly, ivy, the slaughter of the animals for the feast, wreaths, visiting our loved ones' graves etc all come from that. You will find them nowhere in the bible.
