Dealing with an Alcoholic – What to Protect Yourself From

Not everyone has strong enough will to leave the addicted person to themselves, without any reaction. And that's exactly what needs to be done for the alcoholic to understand the seriousness of the situation. Loved ones need to be supported, but only at the moment of implementing changes, not at the moment when alcoholism is progressing and there's no hope for improvement.
