No-one can force an alcoholic to stop drinking . They want to have to stop by themselves first of all . Then, that is when you can step in and help them .
How can an alcoholic be forced to stop drinking? My sister drinks 2 bottles of wine in a night on a daily basis and I am worried she will get cirrhosis but she refuses to lower her intake what can be done?
Hello. You can't force your mom to stop drinking. But you must take care of YOU, and you feel guilty. In the AA program, they teach children of alcoholics the 3 Cs: "You Did not cause it, you can not cure it, you can not control it. " There are Al-Anon groups, which can help YOU and there is a quite good site www.girlpower.gov/girlarea/notalone/howtocope.htm that would be interesting.
