As someone who was hooked on the very same thing for some time, I can tell you honestly that no matter what you do or say will matter. She has to get close to rock bottom or slam rock bottom until anything you do will start to matter. My friends stuck by my side and made sure I didn't die, but everything they said was just another brick in the wall so to speak. I didn't care that I was hurting myself or them, I just wanted to feel good. Eventually, it will get to the point for her that it doesn't even feel good. It's just something that she does. When this point happens then you can edge yourself in. Just don't expect anything to happen suddenly. I never went to rehab and 2.5 years later, I'm doing perfectly fine. No real cravings or desires to do that again. In fact, I can joke about snorting up and it not really affect me.
It's a slow and frustrating process I'm sure. The key is to know when to really step in and when to just let the process happen as it will. Like I said before, when she starts getting to a point of not even doing it because it feels good anymore, step in and make an ultimatum. Find something she used to enjoy and take her out doing that.. it may just replace her current addiction with another healthier one.
