You're YOUNG...you have energy and talent and this world wants you to succeed. I'm old. I've no longer any choice but to live this way. Find roommates...find a way. Get out and live your life the way you want to live it. Don't get stuck in feeling stuck when you're so young. It will become a habit. |

snark Forum Administrator User ID: 1050548 United States 11/30/2012 02:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | you guys dont understand i really want to help her and i think i can Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27703467 why should i just abandon someone who raised me The best way to help her is to get her help like rehab. You cannot help her yourself- you can't cure her. She has to realize what she is losing by drinking and if you are picking up the pieces for her, she will never realize it. She won't realize it until she is sober, no matter how sad and sorry she seems. Try to get her somewhere that professionals can help her. You keep loving her, but stop trying to fix her, because you can't. T For Texas, T For Tennessee! The virtue of courage is a prerequisite for the practice of all other virtues, because otherwise one is virtuous only when virtue has no cost. There are times when something needs to be done, and yet we know that if we step up and do this needful thing, we will pay a heavy personal price. -C.S. Lewis |

Only she can help herself. IF and ONLY IF SHE wants to help herself than you can help her, otherwise your wasting your time. You'll wonder later why you wasted all those years when you could have been getting on with your life. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 21101178 United States 11/30/2012 02:17 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You can't help her until she's ready to be helped. Go to Al-Anon and get free of the situation. You do not deserve to be abused this way, and you putting up with it and taking care of her when she is drunk is actually harmful to her in the long run. It's called enabling. She needs to be left to hit bottom. I have addicts in my family. My own brother stole from me. It's heartbreaking, but there is nothing you can do to make them want to change. SHE has to want to change, and in the meantime, you can only really help yourself. Good luck |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 28378701 Australia 11/30/2012 02:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Its funny how others are quick to judge and categorize someone as an alcoholic. It seems some just have their own issues and are jealous of the alcohol because the loved one pays more attention to it than them. The only way a person can be classified as an alcoholic, is if they admit they are an alcoholic. Your opinion of them is just judgmental crap like what you think of fat people on the bus. |

You don't have any idea what an alcoholic is if you think by not declaring it means you aren't one. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28170048 You don't get to tell other people what an alcoholic is retard you seriously are what about 15 or something? The definition of an alcoholic is someone, themselves, realizing themselves and admitting to themselves their life has become unmanageable due to their drinking. |
