Best option: reward herself for sticking to her goals.

Why: positive reinforcement helps maintain healthy habits without introducing new harmful behaviors. Increasing sugar is an unhealthy substitution; avoiding all social situations or isolating from family is extreme and can harm mental health. Instead, Rachel can celebrate milestones with healthy rewards (a nice meal, a weekend trip, new hobby gear), build supportive friendships, plan how to handle high‑risk situations, and find enjoyable alcohol‑free activities.
