Just to expand on some on previous answers.\n\nYour best option is to contact either a drug/alcohol counseling center or the local branch of the National Council on Alcoholism and Addiction and ask for an accredited course. These agencies focus on education, which is what you are requesting. \n\nYour local court or probation office is likely to have contact numbers for either these agencies or a list of some courses that the court recognizes.\n\nAA has a different mission statement and is an all volunteer organization. It does not focus on education, but peer-to-peer support for recovery from alcoholism. Any particular individual may or may not be able to direct you to an "alcohol awareness course" but don't count on it.

Make a video of her doing it....what a wonderful world we live in where you can tape just about anything and everything. Yes she has a problem with drinking because she cannot remember anything she does the next day. What she is doing is killing herself and one day may end up in the hospital for alcohol poisioning if she doesn't watch herself. But ya its AA not AAA, I think your A key got stuck hopefully. AA is not a shame but rather a support group for those who have alcohol dependency. I wouldn't knock it if you don't know what it is like.

Depends on how bad your problem is, and your family genetics. Alcoholism runs through peoples genetics causing some people to be more prone to having a drinking problem. Sometimes the best thing to do is to find a therapist or some other outlet to help you out. I don't like A.A. though, they are too spiritual and in essence a money scam for a couple companies isnce they push books from one publishing company so much to people who don't have the mental will power to realize they don't need the books or the spirituality that ocmes with it, also A.A. becomes a factor to make people too co-dependant on the group. So I suggest seeing a regular therapist to increase your likelihood of not giving into temptation for drinks.

Well, the first O will be Oregon and the P will be program. May be some kind of out reach clinic to get you to stop drinking.

This will sound harsh but if you insist on enabling him and thereby losing control of your own life and thoughts ... I'd suggest buying him more booze and hope the end comes soon. On a more serious note, you could seek counseling for both you and him and for god's sake, get him to join AA.

go to your phone book, look for one licensed by the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services or e mail recovery @ oasas.state.ny.us

Contact your local Social Care and Health Department, through your local council, the number will probably be in the phone book..... They should have lists of agencies and may be able to offer some help themselves.( they used to be Socail Services...name just recently changed.)

I am not in that state how ever a call to the clip board types at social services would be a great place to start! Understand they are buried in people problems but if you  mention the word "intervention" they just may jump and give you a hand. How ever and I dont want to put this spin on it for you if the person in question does not want help all you may be doing is just pushing the time till they hit bottom back farther. I have found that it takes a fairly truamatic event and or some serious faith to change this. the upside is most drug seems to be easyer to with draw from than alcohol with some exceptions. And more than likely the drugs are not the real issue but some thing on a mental health side of the house maybe a few some things not just one. Good luck and it is very cool you are doing this for your child I have met parents who just go up in arms and wish it away.

This is hard.  First off, if you were an alcoholic then your parents probably already know.  The problem is that your mother just wants everything to be all better.  She doesn't understand the nature of the disease, so she's probably filled with the wrong ideas.  You have to educate her.  Working the steps will help you do that, and your mother will accept your treatment as long as she knows that without your meetings and your sober friends, you stand a good chance dying a drunk.  You can't hide it from them, it gives you a crutch if you ever relapse.  If you are done drinking find a sponser, work the steps and live honest.  My prayers.

have you tried ALANON?....it's a program, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, that helps those who have a problem with family members or friends.  Do this quickly...I'm an alcoholic and I know the pain you're going through.

When I lived in Portland, Oregon, at Denver and Lombard there is a tavern called the farmers barn tavern if you go  there, you will find everybody is crazier than you are and for the price of a couple of beers.  It's well worth the investment and if that's not your cup of tea.  Look in the book, Multnomah County adult mental services.  I believe the service is free for low income individuals.  Good luck and I hope all is well
