I have no idea what to think or do.

Replies Scottish Gal Posted at 4:01 am on June 24, 2012 If alcohol causes problems in your life then you have an alcohol problem. You can't do anything for her except be there. She needs to do this entirely on her own, I would recommend she go to AA. It's the most successful method out there to help her sober up for good. I suggest you do some research and also change your opinion of the AA. If you wanna be a good friend and try and be supportive you can't be calling a highly successful support group a load of shit. Alcoholism is a horrible disease that affects so many people, but can only be helped when the alcoholic wants it. Don't dismiss her when she comes to you for help. tell me again Posted at 3:46 am on June 24, 2012 you dont have to do anything amiee Posted at 3:44 am on June 24, 2012 you don't think she is? why? maybe ask here where she'd like to go from here ErinRose10 Posted at 1:09 am on June 24, 2012 Quote: from melo at 12:45 am on June 24, 2012 Quote: from Silence isnt golden at 3:44 am on June 24, 2012 try to be supportive, help her get the help she needs. its a pretty big step to admit you have a problem so shes on the road to recovery. just be there for her. maybe you could go with her to an AA meeting.
