Just like any program for the Alcoholic, in my 27+ years of sobriety, the only time I have seen or read of an intervention working is when the Alcoholic has reached his/her bottom and wants sobriety more than King Alcohol.

If he's not ready, no I do not believe Intervention will work. Just remember, if you do an intervention, and he agrees to go to rehab it is still no guarantee that he will remain sober. He has to WANT sobriety more than he wants to drink.

Please keep posting and let us know how YOU are doing, we really do care very much. Have you checked out Alanon for YOU? It can be a great help in deciding what kind of life YOU want for YOU. Alanon is also very helpful in teaching us how to figure out our own personal Boundaries, and of course there is The 3 C's:

I didn't CAUSE it,

I can't CONTROL it, and

I can't CURE it.

Love and hugs,
