This! Don't go over the past or try to talk about "it" just focus on being positive.
One thing for you and the family to realize is alcohol is a depressant... you get drunk, you get depressed, you drink more and spiral into the ground.
And another important thing to keep in mind is friends/family will want/try to "fix" her but it isn't that easy. Some people need therapy, some people need rehab, some people need a 12 step program, often a person will need a combination of those.
Most difficult problem is the person has to want it... people have been studying addiction/alcoholism for decades and no one has figured how to make that happen yet (that I know of).
Lots of love and prays is all I can suggest.
