Alcoholism; 3 Steps to a Successful Family Intervention

It’s heartbreaking watching a loved one dig ever deeper into addiction or alcoholism, and families often feel impotent to do anything to effect change for the better. Lecturing, scolding and nagging have proven useless, and in some cases can make the problem worse, and too many families cling to a mistaken belief that only the addict can decide to get help when they’re ready.

Thankfully, that popular conception is false. Families can exert an powerful influence towards treatment, and once someone enters into drug treatment or rehab (even if they maintain that they don’t need it) those days of therapy, sobriety and introspection can do a lot to change one’s perspective, and statistics show that those people who were pressured into rehab do just as well as those people who went of their own accord.

Question by geno1581: The new generation american family “decline and decay.”?
Compared to the children of the pre 1980s it seems as the children today are spoiled.
As the discipline switched from the parents to the state these children seem to have much less respect for anything than their counterparts of earlier times. I know that much as changed since then, and time seemed to shorten when demands seem to be made with very little effort on their part. I see these “children” at the age of 18 who has never had a job, much less a future, who still depends on “mother” to prepare their meal for them. But, I wonder….. Where is the breakdown?
In the 1940s when WWII was going on.. Kids as young as 16 were so eager to fight for America that many lied about their age in order to serve. It concerns me now to see alcoholics before they are even legal age to drink. Is there still hope for America??
