A member asked:
Should i be concerned if my mums an alcoholic and im really worried about her health what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Concern: Two parts 1) take care of yourself , get counseling or go to al-anon for help.2) of course you should be concerned about your mom. Keep in mind forcing someone to do something , berating or shaming someone really does no good. It's not so much that she is drinking it's why is she drinks and one has to be sensitive to that. http://www.brianlynchmd.com/twelve/12stepsemotionhealth.htm.
