It’s been my experience that letters don’t work any better than all the many talks and talks you’ve probably already had.

It’s also been my experience that using “I” instead of the controlling “you will” it works much better.

I will no longer live my life with active alcoholism.

I will remove myself from this environment if a real plan of action is not shown.

I will continue to seek therapy for myself and how alcoholism has affected my life.

As apposed to………..

You must get your liver checked.

You must go to rehab.

You must continue seeing a therapist.
