Not easily, find a local Al-anon group, they are able to help people with alcoholic partners, both active or in recovery. Number will probably be in the local phone book or press.

If you choose to continue a relationship with an alcoholic you need to realize it is not something this person is likely to change for you, it is probably going to cause you grief, and you are going to have to deal with a certain amount of BS related to it.
My boyfriend is an alcoholic and it's a rocky relationship. I've gotten to the point where I am focused on getting my own life together. He is the only person responsible for himself and if he doesn't get his $hit together, he will lose me. But in the meantime, I realize that he is who he is and I am only stuck dealing with it because I choose to be.

Well my dad is now, and has always been, an alcoholic. Over the course of many years and many events that he claimed he would quit and never have, I've come to the conclusion that alcoholics just wont quit and if you dont wanna be with one then your up for a relationship full of bad times if you stay with him.

Continuing would be a bad decision without some professional help.Talk sternly to this person and let them know how you feel and that if he wants to continue your relationship he will get some serious and real help.He or you cannot do it on your own.Get help.Alcohol is #1 in the mind of an alcoholic.Dont settle for #2.

you don't. you have to give them an ultimatum. get help, or the relationship stops. i do not mean to sound cruel, but by staying in a relationship does not help your alcoholic partner. i know it is hard to do, but it is better for you and better for your partner. being in a relationship with a practicing alcoholic is a lifetime of misery for you , your family, and loved ones. you also have to remember, that the change has to come from your partner. you can not change them. Alon for you can be help full. good luck i hope this helps.

You simply can't continue a relationship. This person will always have their drinking problem be their #1 priority. Spouse/partner, family, kids will never be #1 ever.
They will never get their life back on track until they've lost everything.

No I couldn't. I could not stand watching him destroy himself! It was to hard on me. He didn't care about anything but the alcohol. It destroyed the love that I once had for him and it ultimately cost him his life at a very young age.He killed himself at the age of 47.He chose death over quitting.

Tell them how you feel honestly .. and offer to take them to professional help if they don't want it call a friend and leave .. because it will hurt you in the long run . if they except the help stick around and support them
