Can Anybody Help Please?

Hello everyone,

I myself am a recovering alcoholic, I have been dry now for 13 years, but the experiences I had when I was drinking still haunt me today.

I have a friend who's grandmother, who is 82 would you beleive, has started to drink a lot, and the classic symptoms of us alcoholics, hides booze, won't admit she is drinking too much etc

I am trying to get her into a clinic but they will only accept people who want to go in there.

My problem is how do you convince a lady of this age that she must go in there for her own good, as well as the good of her family who are very worried about her.

I am sure that you will all give me some good advice, and am really happy that I have found this site.

Regards
Agnes (RĂ©union Island - Indian Ocean)
