If you find yourself thinking this :" WE'VE got fix this drinking problem" then you are headed for disappointment, and more trouble.
Long experience has shown us that WE cannot fix anything to do with alcoholism. WE can do nothing.
The only person who can overcome the drinking problem is : The DRINKER.
It's sad, is it not, that we, those who live with an active drinker, can do nothing. But that is the cold hard truth. We can do nothing.
There in NOTHING we can do to help the drinker stop, except changing our own attitudes. To learn more about what this means, look in the HELP PAGES over on the right.
The drinker has a long, hard road ahead IF she or he wants to one day stop drinking. It will be the hardest thing they will ever have to do in their lives: to find a way to stop drinking. To stop picking up that first glass.
We, on "the other side" must surely admire anyone who manages to find the gift of sobriety. And respect that person as overcoming a major hurdle in life.
Unfortunately, we are Powerless over Alcohol.
But there ARE some things we can do, if we are willing to CHANGE, that will help our loved one along their journey.
Check the HELP PAGES.
And, God Bless - you are not alone.
