My mom's best friend (who I look up to as a second dad or an uncle) is a recovering alcoholic. He's recently fallen off the "band wagon" as my mom would say. He has been out of rehab since April and has already been back on the bottle four times since. I want to talk to him about it, to let him know we love and support him.. Is there anything I can say to make him wake up and realize what he's doing to himself or to us? If you can help .. please reply! Thanks so much.. -- Ashley

Ashly,

First how old are you?

Second, there is really not alot you can do. He has been to rehab and he has made a choice. Certainly you can tell him you love and support him. Tell him how you feel about his relapse, but after that you really need to let it go. He is an adult and can mess his life up if he chooses.

How is your Mom and what does she have to say about it?

Hugs,
JT

JT,
I'm only 14. My mom is dissapointed, but hasn't really said to much about it... I don't quite know. Thank you for listening. I'm going to tell him just how I feel, and hopefully that may help just a little! Thank you so much.
