There is help

Dear Friend,

I had the same situation with my mother. My sister is an alcoholic and my mother economicaly support her since I can remember. I would talked to her and the best times she will listen and stop for a day or too, but once my sister called, the check was one the way. Sometimes my mother called her to give her the check.

I asked my mother to go to an Alanon meeting with me, and we found a pamphlet called A Guide for the family of the alcoholic. After the meeting, we went to a restaurant and we read it together and to my surprise it worked! My mother is reading in a daily basis and she is determine to stop contributing to the alcoholism and let my sister face the consequences of her actions.

My prayers are with you and your family.
