You want to help them get sober

✻

You have tried talking to them when they are sober. You have argued with them when they are drunk. You have asked them to cut down, asked them to stop and tried to make them understand what their drinking is doing.

You have counted drinks, poured alcohol away or searched the house for bottles. You have tried being understanding, getting angry, staying quiet, setting rules and giving ultimatums.

Something works for a day, a week or even longer, and you think this time will be different. Then the drinking starts again.

You want to know what you can do that will finally make them stop.
