[quote=Anonymous]How have people coped with an elderly relative who is an alcoholic? A recently diagnosed condition led the doctor to say "no drinking." I get that I cannot control her behavior and choices but would like to offer resources. She lives independently, relatives seem to think that assisted living would be booze free, but my understanding is that drinking may be a part of socializing in assisted living, so, not a quick easy fix. She has been hospitalized and in rehab post-surgery so in essence has detoxed, so I figure may as well have the discussion. Any advice from those who have grappled with this? TIA. [/quote]
