It is OK to realize that you have the right to emotionally divest yourself from her at this time.

I have the right to walk away, sure... I'm won't, though.

Emotionally divesting yourself is not the same as walking away. The former simply means that you accept that you have no control over her behavior, and you begin training yourself to not be emotionally affected by it. However, you can still be her friend--although when you get down to it, it is very difficult to be in a real friendship with someone living your friend's lifestyle.
