  1. Help an Alcoholic You're Dating

  2. If you are dating an alcoholic, it can be hard to know how to help. You are probably full of admiration and hope, and want to help him get better. But if you try to do too much, he will resent you for it.

  3. Here are some tips on what NOT to do: Do not try to force him into treatment. He is not ready for that yet, and it is not your place to make decisions for him. If he wants help, he will get it on his own time.

  4. When you are dating someone with alcohol, do not tell him that he is powerless over alcohol or drugs. He may not see it this way at all — maybe he feels like he is just as strong as anybody else and is going through a bad patch. Do not belittle or question his feelings or beliefs about addiction or recovery — he has been there before and knows things about himself that no one else does. You probably want to help, but do not know how. You may not even realize that by trying too hard, you will push him away. Here are some tips on how not to treat an alcoholic:

  5. If dating someone with a drinking problem Do not assume that because he drinks from time to time, he can never get better at staying sober. Do not lecture him about drinking too much. He knows the risks of alcohol consumption. Asking him "Why do you drink so much?" ome drinkers find sobriety difficult at first but eventually develop a routine and balance that helps them stay away from alcohol completely.

  6. If you are dating an alcoholic, you need to know what to say and do to help. You have probably met someone who seems to have it all together — they are successful, they are happy and they look great. They may even be funny and charming. But then there is that one thing: alcohol.
