Please can anyone tell me how to deal with an alcoholic?

Wrong forum to discuss that sort of illness and an illness it is - officially recognised as such.



Please check link it is a site for relatives and children of alcoholics - you may find it helpful.

Think you need to explain what you want to deal with.Please can anyone tell me how to deal with an alcoholic?
Tell them they don't have a disease, that in reality they just have no willpower. Tell them to stop hiding in alcohol and get control of their life, that they are an embarassment.
get them to seek help any way that you can - there is no reasoning with anyone on alcohol or drugs of any kind - good luck
It is a very vague question. Depends really; do they want to be helped? Have they seen a doctor? Are they prepared to go to AA or to a clinic fro alcoholics? My late parents were both alcholics and my formative years were blighted by their drinking and fighting. Try to get help or escape.
give me a beer and ill tel you lol
make em drink water
depends on the case some are worse then others, but i left from the alcoholic i was married to
Alcoholism is a disease. You have to set boundaries %26amp; stick with them Tough love is the besy way to stop being an enabler. A drunk always has a reason to drink--to celebrate, because they're mad, sad,happy, %26amp; the day of the week it is. Anything is a good reason ( excuse) to them. It gives them the ';right'; to drink. Bitching, yelling, screaming, crying, %26amp; threatening them makes no difference to them. Just another excuse to drink. They need help but so many of them don't believe that or except it.
I am an alcoholic and trust me when I say this, there is nothing you can do except go to a program called Alanon. They are in many towns small and large across the country and you can give them a call. They well help with you questions and you won't feel so all alone. Blessings

They are on line and in the phone book. Seek their help please.
There are no easy ways to deal with an alcoholic,the first and most crucial step is to get them to admit to themselves that they have this problem. Most alcoholics deny that they have a problem and while they continue to deny it they cannot be helped. How you do this will depend on whether they are lucid in drink or just ';Blotto'; If they get confused or aggressive,try taking a picture or making a tape and playing or showing it when they are sober. Seeing or hearing themselves in that state can sometimes bring them to realise what they sound and look like. Once they admit that they have a drink problem then clinical and medical help can be sought.
Alcoholism is not a disease! People who pussyfoot around thinking it is are doing more harm than good. The person in question is just selfish %26amp; doesn't give a damn about ANYONE ELSE but themselves or their drink. Give them a month to buck up their ideas, if they don't, get them out of your life.
Try talking to Al-Anon they help relatives, partners %26amp; friends of alcoholics cope. The aa are fantastic too. Try phoning them %26amp; having a chat about whats going on they WILL understand.Alcoholics can recover but only if they'll try
You can't! Just be there for them - but not to the point that it ruins your life.xxxxxxx
