A member asked:
Can you give me suggestions to get my alcoholic father help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stop enabling: If the family is enabling it. Suggest you and other interested family members consider attending alanon, as well as seeking professional family-centered counseling. Nobody can help your father but your father, but if family is enabling the drinking and reacting to it, learning how to stop those behaviors can make it more likely that your father chooses help. Formal intervention can be of help.
