Al-Anon Israel

How can I help a loved one stop drinking?

There is no magic formula that allows you to help someone stop drinking. Alcoholism is a complex problem with many accompanying issues.

The Al-Anon program for families and friends of alcoholics may help you find healthier ways to respond to the challenges you experience because of someone else’s drinking.

There are no easy answers, but Meetings Al-Anon offers an opportunity to learn from the experiences of others who have dealt with similar problems. By listening to Al-Anon members sharing, you can hear how they understood their role in this family disease and how Al-Anon works for them.

Certain studies show that when a problem drinker does choose to enter a recovery program, their chances of success improve when they are supported by family members who are themselves in a recovery program such as Al-Anon.
