I would advise the OP to focus more on taking care of himself.

I'm covered; it's not really an issue in this particular situation. (FYP)

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.

Otherwise, I would just tell the OP to remind himself that there is little that he (she?) can do to help. Indeed, it is extremely painful to watch addicts spiral downwards into the abyss, especially when it is nearly impossible to help.

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.
