Alcoholism (61)
mmmmuntouchable: Well we have a family member who has turned into a shadow of her former self in the last 2 years. She has been drinking day and night, but, for the last 6 weeks has been doing great after a heart to heart showing our concerns. And then yesterday morning the early morning phone calls started and bang our family is in bits again and its just 3 days to Christmas. Can anyone give advice on what we can do? She doesn't admit she has a problem when drinking but does when sober but says that they'll do it their own way?
We have contacted GP's and clinics but they are disgraceful in their approach..
ADVICE NEEDED!!!!!

Tell her to check out the 'Cheap drink' thread. There are many great ideas on where to buy cheap drink.

MY experience of an alcoholic is unless they make up their minds they need and want the help of packing it in.There is very little you can do to help.Sorry to hear of your troubles and good luck.

Exactly. There's no advice you can give to an alcie. They've heard it all before. Get out of their way and let them at it or they will drag you down with them.

If she really wants to cut down she can..truth is she doesn't want to thats why shes fell off the wagon...I had a drink problem myself for 3 years...I was haywire with it..then something traumatic happened in my life and I quit for a year..it was 1 of the worst years of my life the depression I had was terrible and I attribute that to quitting the booze...I can have a drink now and go off it for weeks on end I wont miss it whereas before I was at it every night and not just a few drinks it would be a slab of cans a night..was great fun when I look back but never again

hey thats my thread
why are people being so disrespectful to the op on a situation that is clearly effecting her and people close to her 
she has come on and shared this,looking for some advice and all some seem to just think its great to make fun of it!! now we all like a laugh but its discusting to think that just because some one who has lost their way,turned to drink and people need to rip the piss out of that
we all have our problems and its discusting the way some react
grow up and i hope ye never find yourself in a situation like that!!!
i cant give any advice on the situation but hope things work out for her

mmmmuntouchable: Its different if your drinking too much socially but she's not she drinks on her own when all her customers are gone (she owns a pub which doesn't help) Awh I dunno anymore, and this wasn't the best place for advice as i have just learnt!!!
I wasn't drinking socially either...I would knacker drink in fields on my own..no need to get narky with me just because somebody got smart with you earlier
Happy Christmas
