Some times it still didn't work but many times it did and they had a new outlook on life. Some times the addict knows that they need help but they just don't want to ask for it. If you could form a family intervention and maybe get an intervention specialist also involved and have a plan for the addict to get help then maybe just maybe the addict would say yes to the help. Good luck.
Did they ever do "A year later" followup with any of the people? I wonder if the people who went through an intervention stuck with it long term?

My church has a huge commitment to all the "A" groups, and our building is where there are meetings just about every day and night of the week. As a Methodist church, everyone knows there is no alcohol allowed on the premises, so it feels like a safer place for them. The stories told would break your heart, and it is great to see people thriving again on the other side of addiction.
