Do You Really Want to Be a Good Friend?

Cutting her off financially does not have to mean you abandon her and her financial struggles. You can do same thing with her drinking, if you think that's getting out of hand as well. If your friend reacts poorly to any of this, i can understand that being something you have anxiety over. But if she reacts poorly to these new efforts of yours, you've done what you can do, and you've fulfilled the role. And should you take my advice, i give you the stamp of approval and permission to knot guilt yourself if you ever find yourself wondering whether or not you could have done more.
