What to do when alcoholic family member relapse?
Family members are often confused about the best way to help a loved one who is abusing alcohol. It’s important for family and friends to understand that you can’t “talk a person out of” using alcohol or somehow make it stop. The only thing you can do is motivate them into accepting their problem and getting help from others who are trained in alcohol-abuse recovery techniques. It may be difficult at first, but remember – with support, education and time – most people do reach out for help if they are ready.
