I think my daughter is an alcoholic?

by Lynne




I believe my 28 yr old daughter is an alcoholic. When I try to talk to her about it, she either gets mad or just walks off. Then I don't hear from her for weeks.

What do I do or say to help her?

Get Smart

Dear Lynne,

Alcoholics are never wrong, because they never have a problem. It's always you with the problem.

Your daughter is in denial and will likely be the very last person to admit that she has a disease she cannot control. You need to get educated because you're in for a fight.

Al-Anon is an excellent resource. Also, get the family members together for a conference because you can't do this alone. You'll need an army and family is the key to getting your daughter into treatment.

Joe Herzanek's book, "Why Don't They Just Quit?" is a terrific guide, as is "Getting Them Sober" by Toby Drews. You need to educate yourself, educate the family.

W.C. Fields once said "Never smarted up a chump," and that's what your daughter is counting on--that you will never smarten up and she can keep drinking. Make some calls and prepare for a difficult task, but a rewarding outcome. You can do this!
