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 .

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.

But if your are in US :www.mcadamh.com/hospitalization.php
