Keep your drinking in check.

[Bowtech08]

Ok im not saying to never drink but you have to keep it in check. My sister is a alcoholic and has been for 6 years, she's 30 now and is expected to live for 6 months to a year if she doesn't stop drinking and get immediate attention. She doesn't realize what she is doing to her kids and and the rest of her family. I'm torn between being ****** at her for never listing to anyone and feeling bad for her. Im posting this to maybe help a friend out. Please don't let the addiction get ahold of you.

Sorry to hear about your sister man- hope she comes out of it before its too late....

[Longhorn95]

Prayers for all involved. It's a tough situation for all.

If she is not ready to quit all your doing is adding to her problems.
Now she have something to blame. Alcoholics never take blame or responsibilty for their actions. They drink out of reaction and is a copeing mechanism for them.
Now I'm NOT saying its actualy your fault. That was just the verbage I used.
Yes I speak from experience.

My parents have been going but I have yet to go. I don't know where to start or what to do. I just get all tearier eyed when I think about it. Guess that's why I started this thread I knew I could talk to my brothers and sisters

It's tough! My brother lost his MIL a week before Thanksgiving due to her drinking. They tried to get her to stop and she would, for a short time and then start again. It was just a matter of time before she was going to lose that battle. Prayers up for you and your family.

From an alcoholic, talk to her. I came close to drinking myself to death years ago. I was lonely,single and all my friends were married. I drank a case of beer a day along with no telling how much whiskey a week. All because I had nobody that cared. I stayed drunk for so long, my family didn't even notice it. Even though I still like to have a beer or three, my wife keeps me in check. If it weren't for her, I'd have been gone long ago. If I start getting carried away, she sits me down and talks to me. Letting her know that there is someone that really cares about her can make the difference. I know.
