I disagree with the doubting her problem with alcohol and being cynical about her choices to stop. For me, this is the line between reasonable gossip/discussion about influencers and sometimes when we descend in to something a bit uglier. Implying that you have to look/behave/be drinking a certain way/amount to be an alcoholic is one of the reasons lots of people with alcohol (and other substances) issues don't seek help sooner and continue to hurt themselves and others around them. Addiction is an illness and illnesses manifest differently, you wouldn't say to someone "oh you've only got a bit of cancer, no chemo for you." Yes alcoholism can look like you've wrecked your whole life and you're drinking all day everyday, but it can also not. And I say this as someone who is the child of a very stereotypical drug addict and inevitably we lost him to that when I was young. I commend her for recognising the issue and seeking help, and I'm always glad another child won't have to slowly lose a parent in that way.
