she has addictions and is living a very dangerous life which makes me sad and anxious and angry all at once
user

That is nerve wrecking. Did you try to comfort her and tell her that you are there to help her out.
assistant

yes, often but she won't go for help, so i have had to be exceedingly patient
user

I love your patience level and would like to keep it going. Patience is the key and she will understand eventually. She will be ready to take help.

i will but it's such a heavy burden to carry. i try not to think about it much, but I carry it, you know? I Hope you are right about her wanting help eventually in the meantime I don't know how to be so sad about this, maybe there is no way

I understand your heavy burden however some kids face these problems and we as parents guide them so that they come out with flying colors.

CAn't help someone who doesn't want help though, but I do try to be there for her as best i can. She calls me up with terrible stories and I listen even though it pains me, because she needs someone to listen. Addiction is an affliction I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy now that I have seen her living it

Wow that is a good sign atleast she is coming to you to vent out. That is were you need to punch in an opportunity to seek help from a professional and convince her in such a way she will come down and accept it.
assistant
Providing Suggestions
I have encouraged her to set up appointments with professionals. Sometimes she has, but does not follow through, the addiction gets in the way, it's more powerful than her desire to stop. And I can't just drive her/ accompany her to an appointment because she lives in a different city But yes, I am happy she trusts me enough to confide in me

You have such a good heart so hang in there she will come to you with a bang.
assistant

Is there any way you could move to her city for a while and help her out. If so she will not skip any appointment and it will help her way.
assistant

That is understandable. Is there any option she can move in with you so you offer help.
