I have a girlfriend, i really love her. She used to be on drugs and alcohol a lot.
We lived together for 5 months. We helped each other, spirtually.
She had to go back to London, and I had to stay here in Denmark, we said we were gonna continue the relationship, and see each other soon, latest in august, but hopefully earlier.

She was on coke 2 days ago. She hasnt been on it, 5 months.
She was very sad, and apologized, and told me everything, like how she came home at 6 am.
She says that there is one side that is spirtual and reasonable, and one side that is/wants the opposite.
The other side wants to be a dumb partygirl taking drugs and having "fun"
She has been like that, in 2014 she slept with like 8 people.

From the start I knew her, she said she liked going out, meeting people, dancing, drinking.

I now said, she has to know, or be aware of the difference between going out with friends, and having a drink, or drinking out of control. She got defensive and said "I'll think about it, but I cant now, I need positive energy"

I asked if she could please stop drinking, cause that like gives more chances of the other side coming out of her.
She said "My best friends birthday is in 2 days, and then i also have to drink saturday for her actual birthday party. And there is this festival with my sister im going to in mid-june. But I dont have to drink that much"
And i was saying "just please stop drinking, you need it, to become spirtual and look inside of yourself, to be aware"
and she said "ill not drink at all July. Dry july. Pleased?"
And I was like "dont please me, please yourself"
its like she doesnt realize alcohol is a problem. . .
Where she lives (In london) it is seemed as "cool" and "fun" i guess.

What Do I do? Please, PLEASE tell me..
 
Btw. She does say she does NOT want to be that person anymore, that side. And that she took coke, to know that she shouldnt do it or something. She does really need help. But sometimes she is in denial I think, and as all you need is love song is saying "there is no one you can save that cant be saved"
Like SHE has to help herself, I cant preach about anything if she doesnt listen.
What do i do..
 
Not a lot you can do from that distance. My thought is just to cool things down a bit, see each other in August if you want, but I can already see it getting to the point where the issue is a point of emotional blackmail for both of you, which only sours things. I've been in that kind of place before, and it's very hard to make it work. She obviously knows what's up, where you stand, what she should be doing, but she wants to have her cake and eat it to. Not a lot you can do in person in that situation, let alone by distance. Still be there, be contactable and approachable, but I'd really suggest cooling things off a little on your end, for her sake as much as yours.

Hope that's helpful, or at least food for thought. :)
