Episode 60: Approaching an Addict

April 22, 2009

Episode Synopsis
For many of us, there may be a time in our lives when we need to confront a loved one about their abuse of alcohol. Here are some steps to consider:

  • Don’t do this alone – if you’re seeing this, find others who are seeing this as well and rally their support
  • Find the right time – while you might be ready to share, it’s critical that you find the right time for your friend/family member
  • Be Clear – don’t muddy the waters, by trying to be sensitive. Use words that describe what you are seeing, regardless of how you think it may make that person feel.
  • Don’t Give In – your friend may try to side-step the matter. Don’t be taken in by that.
  • Prepare an Action Plan – contact your local AA group and setup a network that you can tap your friend into
  • Be prepared to change – you may be part of their problem because of enablement and silence.
