Sometimes you just have to say "fuck the damage." Seriously. I was in this AA meeting a couple months ago, and this lady I really like (friend-style) was all depressed, and saying that she didn't feel like she had the right to be happy.
So I went up to her afterwards and said "Dude, God has personally authorized me to tell you that you have the right to be happy." And I MEANT it.
Everyone has a right to be happy. Although people's definition of happiness can be wacky. For me, happiness is the absence of fear. Period.
Everything else is gravy. Fortunately, I have lots of gravy.

I trust you to be able to handle her case.
Me too, got a lot of gravy groovy savvy in overcoming depression.
Not feeling worthy now will be a blessing for her later when she realizes later that she actually DESERVES happiness. All part of the growing, healing, etc. I wonder how early she is in her recovery. I also wonder if she works her steps. Hope fully she is more than a dry drunk and will find her way.
Peace............
Amen bro!
