Re: Reassuring friends from their anxieties (when their anxieties are justified)

Thanks. Yeah, I don't want to approach the alcohol thing because that's not going to help her to hear. But after the first semester, she vowed to drink less, but two weeks into the second semester she was carrying on as before - at that point, I was tempted to say something as her friend, but she's an adult, it's her choice. Now I've just get these awkward moments with her where she's like, "Maybe I shouldn't have drank so much this semester" and I sort of agree in the most noncommittal way possible. It's too late now anyway, I guess.

I've just tried to focus on how it's awesome how hard she's worked, and tell her if she needs someone to rant to, I'm there. But I don't want to sound condescending either, especially before we know for certain if she failed or not.

I think at this point you may want to keep an eye on her and keep her from drinking again. You'd be doing her a disservice if you just let her keep going as she was going, especially since she's already backslid from her own resolution to drink less (which honestly you should have nipped in the bud.) And if she fails, she may want to crawl into a bottle. Don't let her.
