What should be done by close alcoholics
To begin with, they should help the drinker understand his problem and understand what the further consequences of drinking can be. It is necessary to show the alcoholic that his life has already begun to change for the worse. It is worth focusing on the deterioration of his health, appearance, financial situation, problems at work, loss of ties with some friends, etc. The alcoholic must clearly realize that alcohol is gradually destroying his life.

But under no circumstances should the following be done:

• to blame the drinker, to shame him in the presence of other people, especially strangers;
• Make them feel inferior;
• overprotection, especially in monetary matters. When you give him money, you push him to buy alcohol.

You cannot be manipulated by an alcoholic. If he feels that he has taken over you, then this will greatly complicate the situation. You will not be able to deal with the problem with him and fully help the person.
