This blog aims to help you cope with living with an alcohol abuser. I know what you are going through because I have lived through this situation myself. So I have set up the "HELP PAGES" on the right to help you cope with an alcohol affected life. Please start with the first page: "Living with an Alcohol Abuser".

What can I do to stop the drinking??

We naturally think that there must be something - something -  we can do to stop the drinker consuming endless alcohol.  There MUST be something we can do.
So we try all sorts of things to thwart the drinker's habit.  But all that happens, we find, is that the drinking continues but maybe goes underground, gets less obvious, more sneaky. But continues.
We get more and more hurt and frustrated, don't we? It's just what happens to most of us, the ones living with an alcoholic.
I had to learn all about this - the power alcohol has over some people's minds, so that the drinking becomes the most important thing in their lives.  What to do?
What I learned is written in the "Help Pages" opposite, so I encourage you to delve in to them and see if anything makes sense to you. Send me a comment. I'd love to hear from anyone reading these pages, as some of you are.
And remember: You did not CAUSE the drinking, you cannot CONTROL the drinking, and you cannot CURE the drinking.
