Alcoholics; what can be done to save them?

Question by Jeannie: Alcoholics; what can be done to save them?
i have a friend who spent 5 months in a center for treatment from alcohol abuse. Now that they are out, they are back at it and haven’t changed. What can be done to save their lives? The doctor has said that all that could be done has been done. But I just don’t believe that we should give up on them. Anyone have a similar experience or have dealt with this issue, know what can or should be done?

you cant help or save someone who doesnt want to be helped or saved. all you can do is be there when they reach their bottom. when they are ready to change they will need your support and understanding. its very difficult to make those needed changes. you can contact alcoholics anonymous organizations nearby for more information and help for you to deal with it.

You cannot make someone do something they don’t want to do. They know it’s bad for them, but why stop? If your friend won’t change after 5 months of treatment they never will!
