Help | Alcohol Abuse Advice

Question by Becky: question for alcoholics: what made you get help?
what can a person do/say to help an alcoholic realize that she needs help. she is a successful professional. she has admitted she needs help, but always–the next day–she thinks she’s fine. please don’t say “she has to figure it out herself and be ready to get help”.
i don’t aid her drinking or drink with her.
she has lost several close friends b/c of her drinking; oddly enough, these are the friends who taught her to turn to alcohol for stress relief. they don’t like that they now have to take care of her when she drinks; it spoils their fun. they are all in their late 30s, so it’s not young college kids; i took her to one AA mtg, but the people who talked that night were into drugs and hit their rock bottom when they were living on the streets. so, she says she’s not as bad as them. she loves wine and the feeling of being drunk too much.
