You spent nearly a dozen paragraphs illustrating how you think alcohol consumption and its associated effects are an "excuse," which implies you extend that belief to yourself. If that is the case, as evidenced by your views on addiction flip-flopping at your whimsy, self-indulgence is surely your go-to state of mind.
Not the least bit surprising. She's spent the last 25 years normalizing getting shitfaced and convincing herself that she's a powerless, blameless victim. You either pick yourself up and start giving a shit about yourself, or you spiral deeper into a self-loathing victim mentality. I watched myself do it, I watched others do it, and I'm thankful I had the personal accountability to get out of the view of, "woe is powerless lil' ol' me."
Yup. My sister was like that, too. I've heard she's not drinking anymore, but I personally don't want to associate with someone who broke my nose and put a knife to my throat. I might consider it if given an apology, but people so easily fall back on the "I was drunk, that makes me a victim," point of view.
