Question 10

how can i support someone who abuses alochol?

Accepted Answer

Take care of YOU: This may sound counterintuitive, but the best thing is to take care of your own behavior first.  Some people equate "helping" with trying to control the alcoholic's behavior, or his/her access to alcohol.  This can lead to over-focus on what the alcoholic is doing.  Attending al-anon, the group for families and friends of alcoholics, can help you balance this.  http://www.al-anon.alateen.org/.
