My little brother was an alcoholic... and I certainly wish I had done something to intervene before he died in a car accident from drinking and driving

intervention can start the process. but addicts have to realize that they have a problem before they can benefit from help. best of luck to your friend

in your life that had a drug addiction or a eating disorder and they were out of control and you could see them dying in front of you. Would you do an intervention to save their life? NO, I do not have any of this in my family or close friends. I was just thinking about this, we were talking about this at work today. Yes, I would do whatever I could to help them. But if this was something I was aware of before hand, my ass would be nowhere near it. |

I have lived through it..You can't make someone get help..They have to want it...No matter what you do...If they are not ready for the help, it will not work...I would never turn my back on them, but you can't force someone to get help..... Your so right about that and she knows that |

Your so right about that and she knows that I have been through it with a family all I could do is stand back and let her hit bottom to help her pick herself up and start climbing that hill to get better......I never turned my back on them even when it involved other people in the family. I was there for her and made sure she was not alone. Tough road tough time but we did it and were stronger now. |

Tough road tough time but we did it and were stronger now. same here with the ex, but i reached a point where i had to let go or i would have lost everything because of his addiction and for the kids i had to survive. and it is true, they have to seek help, if and when they are ready. i learned that the hard way more times than i can count. it wasn't until there really was nothing left, he sought help and he's 4 years into recovery now. to let someone go in that condition was the hardest thing i ever had to do. |
