“Hello. My name is David and I’m an alcoholic.”
“Hello, David.”

No, you’re not getting your licence back early after your 4th DUI. You’ve proven that you are totally incapable of controlling yourself. The good people of Kentucky have no interest in you being on the road, endangering the lives of their children any sooner than they have to.

Question by bamingbabeoo: Can i send AA information to someone anonymously? Or how to inform someone they need help?
I really need to know because i have been dealing with a family member for my whole life. And tonight somthing bad happened and i need to get her help. If you know anything please let me know.

Best answer:

Answer by SCARLETT
It will do no good to send the information about AA to your loved one anonymously…they will deny they have a problem. Call AA and ask them for help. You need an intervention, a plan for what you can do and a meeting your family member with the problem and with those that care.

Maybe more folks will have more and better information.
