Kim has been lying to you. And you have been lying to her. You've trapped yourself by approaching a third party and then agreeing to keep the details of this conversation confidential, allowing the lies to continue unchecked. It would be best to approach Kim directly, ensuring her that your friendship remains strong and that you are there to support her through her challenges with alcoholism.
Supporting a friend struggling with alcoholism involves providing help and compassion while also addressing the issue of continuous lying. Reassuring Kim of your friendship and willingness to assist her through difficult times, despite her dishonesty, may help her open up and seek the necessary support and resources.
