Are you thinking that, by taking away the booze from someone who has lost control of their drinking of alcohol, you can stop them drinking?
Maybe you are pouring any booze you find down the sink. Maybe you are hiding any booze you find somewhere else. Maybe you are withholding money or credit card so your loved one cannot buy booze.
Most of us have tried all of these things, and guess what?
The drinking somehow continues, and usually goes underground so that its harder for you to find out.
Sooner or later we realise that the need for alcohol in your loved one is stronger than we are. We are in effect, powerless over alcohol.
Your loved one is in the grip of a powerful disease of the mind, and now, the only thing that is important to them is the next drink.
Not you, nor the kids, nor the job, nor the house, nor food, nor anything else.
Just the next drink.
So what to do?
Save yourself the angst and stop trying to remove booze. Let the person drink. Its going to happen anyway no matter what you do.
Sounds wrong, doesn't it?

You are not alone!
