[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, OP, but you should just get out now.

I have an alcoholic sibling who doesn't think they have a problem. Countless therapy appointments and interventions has taught me that until they acknowledge the problem, they cannot be helped.

My sibling has been to fancy rehabs, court ordered rehabs, inpatient & outpatient rehabs... and none worked because my sibling doesn't think they have a problem.

They have 4 DUIs now (not a felon because 2 were thrown out of court due to mistakes the arresting officers made) and an Interlock in their car.  The Interlock was supposed to have come off in September and they got a notice that they'd violated it so it was extend to December. They got another notice this week that they'd violated it again and it will remain on until March. I 100% expect another DUI once it is off.

You do NOT want this as your life. IMO, it's more difficult being the loved one of an alcoholic because 99% of the time they don't know what they're doing and don't care, but we do. We are the ones who get the drunken phone calls that they got kicked out of an Uber and need a ride at 3 am as they walk down a busy road where you can hear cars whizzing by but they can't tell you where they are. Or the call that they fell/got in a fight and are being taken to the hospital but they are too drunk to know which one, so you just have to start calling around to all the local ones to find them.

After lots of therapy, I finally had to cut them out of my life. It was so painful but not as painful as watching them slowly kill themselves. [/quote]
