Kim,

Take it from someone whose been in recovery for over 18 years...until your family member hits rock bottom, there's not a lot you can do.

I tried to get my Dad, who was also a serious alcoholic, to quit. After my stepmonster passed away, he gave up his will to live. I threatened, consulted a lawyer, offered to take him to AA meeting, even quit my job to help him through it. The arguments got ugly and I just quit trying. He lived and died by the bottle.

I'm afraid you are in between a rock and a hard place, I'm sorry to say.

You have my number. Call me anytime.

and hugs,

Donna
