how is my mom affecting her body with her drinking? and is she an alcoholic?

Sunday, October 17th, 2010

okay my mom wakes up to a beer and in a day she probably drinks around six beers, but she is hardly ever drunk. she takes a lot of shots of southern comfort and things like that but is this affecting her body?

i want her to stop or at least slow down but before i confront her i want to know if this is actually affecting her body short and long term

thank you:)

How do you deal with alcoholism affecting a family member?

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

My mother is an alcoholic. She just spent 8 days in a detox/behavioral health facility, lost her job and is already drinking again…she’s been out 1 week and has gotten drunk twice since.

I get so frustrated with her- I am seriously about to lay it all on the table. I can no longer put my own family through the drama that she causes. I have a husband, kids (7, 5 & 8 months), I work full time and am a full time student. Here alcoholism is effecting every aspect of my life. I am about to cut her out of it, I have tried and tried to help her, but there comes a time when you can only help someone so much before they are willing to help themselves…
