Hi, I have a relative who is addicted to alcohol to the point where its a problem for his health & life in general. He won't go to rehab, and I don't think he attends AA meetings. He had to go to the hospital last week, but on the way there he escaped from the cab.
So he's very resistant to getting help (even sober he won't go to rehab...).
What are the proper steps to take here? I know that there is alcohol in the house, but I worry that if I remove it I'm just enabling his helplessness. Also, he has money to buy more, so it wouldn't help much..
His marriage is in danger, his kids are young and need a sober father.
How can one convince an alcoholic to try to change?
