Should I got out of my way to try to celebrate an old friend's birthday, or just leave a simple Facebook message and go about my day?
Quick greentext
>Have known this girl for nearly 25 years now
>As recently as last year we were inseparable, I hung out with her like 3-4 times a week, with her boyfriend and shit
>In the span of about three weeks in December she gets fired from her job and her boyfriend dumps her
>She starts spending ALL of her time at these three dive bars, doing drugs and drinking
>Literally like 18 hours a day
>Totally ghosts me (and any of her friends that are her age), now only hangs out with sad drunk 40-60 year olds that sit and die in these smoky bars
>Every time I reach out she either doesn't reply, or acts passively friendly
Today's her birthday and frankly I'm kind of mad at her for throwing away all of her friendships for drugs and booze, but I don't know what to do at this point. I feel like it's very sad for her to spend this birthday essentially alone in a bar. Should I desperately try to get her to reply and see her friends?
Thoughts?

It's selfish for you to assume that what she's doing is wrong. She ghosts you and whoever else because she doesn't want to talk to you; why's that hard to understand? Drop a quick message on her Facebook and move on. Don't try to change her.
