Unless you are his spouse or parent, there is not all that much that you _can_ do. If you do have influence over him, try to get him to a therapy. If not (as in my case - my mom started dating a drunk) - just get away, before he drives you crazy. I moved out of home and my bond with my mother and brother is tighter than ever before, I just still don't empathyze with her for putting up with him.

Experience is a harsh teacher. Here are MY RULES:
1. Anyone who hangs with a drunkard who will not go to the AA meetings, or defends a substance abuser who insists upon dragging down the family, is an ENABLER! Don't ENABLE the abuser with companionship, money, aid, or assistance in their pursuit for alcohol or drugs of choice!
Turn them in to any professional help groups, police, hospital, etc.
2. Get far away, stay far away, from the home wrecking alcoholic/drug abuser, after you have said your piece, that he should go to the AA, get professional help, NEVER lend him a dime, no matter what for, as it only enables him to squander the family money, and endanger all the innocent people, and children!
3. Don't EVER get into a car with him, and call the police when you witness him drinking/using, and driving, so that you can save the lives of some innocent men, women, and children!!! The abuse from abusers lasts a lifetime for all the innocent victims, if they live to tell!
That is MY "Three Steps to help an alcoholic or drug abuser"!
It also saves the lives of others! Show your love and compassion,for the rest of us, by being very firm on your own integrity and honesty in helping the abuser of drugs/alcohol to reform, to quit the horrid behavior, and to be a good member of our society!

Buddy it is sad to know that one of your relative is a drunkard, but at the same time I am happy to see how concerned you are towards him and his family. It is quite clear from your query that your relative does not want to get rid off this habit. So taking him to a counselor against his wish is simply impossible. But you can get in touch with a psychiatrist, and ask about DETOX that can be done from house. Hope this will work..........

suggest ur relative to go to Alcoholics Anonymous.
hopefully, the drunk doesn't drive.
There is help for families of alcoholics as well.

What you need to do is pray and ask him if he wants help if he does help him if hes a threat or threatening leave him alone

There is nothing that anyone can do but him. Let him hit rock bottom and will either sink or swim.
