Hi, and I hope that your friend can find some help. There are other options besides AA. AA does have a good reputation however, and she just might decide she likes it. Most communities have 'resource centers. This center may find some counceling for her to receive some private help. Ususally the payments work on a sliding scale, according to your income.
I have turned to this center myself a number of times, and found the direction I needed. Also the local hosptial in your area, may have an out patient program. I do wish your friend all the best. Ginnie
