Drinking Concern?

Question by tofuboi07: drinking concern?
I was wondering where on the Web I could find info about a person who stopped drinking, but then went back to drinking after being treated?
*treated = AA, counseling, brief intervention….

Answer by Barbra
Why did you start drinking again? You really need to quit. Drinking is not good for anybody. That should be reason enough to stop. You’re also setting a bad example for others. It could cause you to have liver problems for a starter. None of this is good.

How Can I Convince a Person to Undergo Heroin Detox?

Question by destinie_cx: How can I convince a person to undergo heroin detox?
My cousin has been dependent upon heroin. I care about her a lot and I want her to get better. How can I convince her to get heroin detox?

Best answer:

Answer by alysha_m
Heroin detox isn’t all she needs. Heroin gives its users a wave of euphoria and she might be lured to try it again. Intervention might work, it might make her agree to get detox and then treatment. Rehabilitation might be necessary, at least you would be sure that she would not be getting any heroin supply in the treatment center. Have her see that she’s only wasting her life by relying on heroin. It’s not going to do her any good at all. Point out to her that she once lived her life without the drug, she could also do that now. She doesn’t want to be controlled by it forever, does she? She can do so much more. Make her realize this.
