Alcohol Abuse Advice

Question by Git’cher Sexy On II: *POLL: If you had a parent who was a SERIOUS ALCOHOLIC, which would you be most likely to do…?
A.) Be an ENABLER to them and provide them with anything they may need to stay “well” including alcohol, rides to the store, money, lying/making excuses for them, and in a sense “parenting” THEM while YOUR life falls apart. You do this to “keep the peace” and HOPE that soon they will “hit rock bottom” and seek help.

OR

B.) Show them TOUGH LOVE by NOT enabling them; letting them deal with the addiction ALL ALONE without ANY help from you, EVEN if it means they will be homeless until they hit “rock bottom” and ASK for help.

OR

C.) Seek immediate professional help for them and don’t take “NO” for an answer NO MATTER WHAT!

*Yeah, I’ve been watching too much “Intervention!” LOL! =)

Should I make excuses to my alcoholic husband’s boss?

One of the common questions about living with an alcoholic is – Should I make excuses to my alcoholic husband’s boss?  This is a real dilemma for many people.  Its Monday morning he has been on the booze all weekend and is due at work five minutes ago.  One look at him and you know the whole the story of the weekend, the bloodshot eyes, the shaking hands and the smell of stale alcohol that would poleaxe an ox at ten paces.  It’s not a pretty sight.  He turns to you and says, again, could you phone the boss and tell him I won’t be in that I have food poisoning.  Not the most original excuse, but a fairly standard one.  So what do you do?  Do you phone or not phone?
