posting in the correct forum

I have questions about dealing with a family member that is an alcoholic. I need answers to what I can do about getting him to realize that he needs treatment, what kinds of treatments are available, etc.

thanks

Hello SWM, welcome to SR. We have a Friends & Family area here on SR that'd be a great place to start http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...ly-alcoholics/ and here's a list of recovery resources and programs http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...resources.html

But I have to say that nobody could get me to realize I needed treatment, I had to find my bottom and figure it out for myself. I hope you'll give some thought to your own recovery, and taking care of yourself rather than focusing on him.

Please be patient while our forums are being upgraded. Normally things run pretty smoothly around here
