i would be aggressive to the point of physically impeding them from drinking...I've seen people drink them self to death , it not only kills them but it kills a little bit of the ones they love also. FIGHT.....DO NOT TO GENTLE INTO THAT GOODNIGHT...RAGE RAGE AGAINST THE DYING OF THE LIGHT

I believe everyone has to do what they have to do to find some semblance of comfort in what appears to be a miserable life. In most cases, even if you "reach" that loved one and they stop drinking, they relapse. What really has to happen is they have to come to it on their own. The best you can do is show a lot of love and support in the meantime and hope for the best. I don't suppose this is the answer you wanted to hear.

I have had loved ones crawling around the bottom of many bottles.........and did what I could. But they had to want to climb out for it to do any good in the long term. My love was always there, and my hand outstretched to grab if they chose to look up!

Extremely aggressive. I watched a very close love one drink themselves to death. I will never forgive myself for not doing more.

Well she is pretty strong and I am sure she wouldn't do something like this but I would be as aggressive as I needed to... I have no problems with handcuffs and locking people in the basement if need be

I learned along time ago, the only one that can pull them up out of that bottle is themselves. You can kick and scream and shout. You can wail and cry about it. But they have to hit rock bottom and say, 'Enough is enough. It's time for me to get help.' Not you. They do. And that's the sad truth of it.

You can be as aggressive as you want, but it won't help that much. They have to quit for them, because they want to and understand that they need to save their own lives. Not evenhaving two young children depending on her was enough for my mother to stop. She had to really understand how bad she was, and care enough to change it. It is better to be truly aggressive and helpful after they understand and have started to change.

My husband before I married him was doing just that. I wasn't aggressive because that would have just pushed him away. I told him that I loved him but I could not stay and watch him kill himself. I bared my heart to him. I also had to understand that if he picked the bottle over me, I had to walk away.
I was fortunate, he picked me. Sometimes it does not work out that way and the only way you can protect yourself is to walk away, but do it by letting them know you love them... but just can't continue to watch them killing themselves.

As aggressive as I needed to be to save them.

tough love aggressive, sista. Pour it out, change your bank and do not allow access to the loved one, anything you can do and as aggressive as you have to be. Give it your all or it won't work.
just my opinion
