How can you help an alcoholic that won't help themselves? Many will say that you often times have to hit rock-bottom to have the want to work yourself back up. But, what exactly is rock-bottom. To a 45 year old mother of 2, grandmother of 1, you would think that getting arrested 5 times in the past year, having 3 DUI's in the past 3 months, spending a night in jail, going to 45+ AA classes, having your 17 year old daughter move out, and being physically abused by your alcoholic "boyfriend" THAT would be rock bottom. But, apparantly it is not.... or my mother has completely lost her mind.
In any event. How can you even begin to help an alcoholic that won't help themselves? Or, for that matter, doesn't care to?
