What can you do for a girl that lives with an alcoholic?

Try to get the alcoholic some help, if being an alcoholic is the problem then solve the problem, try to help the alcoholic. But there would need to be more information, are they in a relationship, roomates, old friends, family? Either way the problem is the alcohoism, why are you looking at helping "the girl", she isn't the one with the problem, help the one with the problem "the alcoholic". I assume the girl is a friend well to help your friend you need to help her roomate (the alcoholic she lives with). Your question should be what can you do to help an alcoholic? If you help the alcoholic you will help your friend. If their relationship is dangerous get the girl out, but don't forget the drunk "he or she" needs help.

Why should you feel sorry for the alcoholic?

An alcoholic is not a victim. The friends and family of the alcoholic are the victims. ANSWER Alcoholism is not a condition that the alcoholic enjoys or wishes upon himself. The fact is most alcoholics that are still drinking are usually miserable and are ashamed that they cannot drink socially like most people. Alcoholism left untreated can lead to a painful death. Unfortunately family and close friends of the alcoholic will also experience anguish. The solution for the alcoholic is of course to stop drinking. This solution is found in treatment and A.A. If the alcoholic is not willing to work at the solution then family and friends need to sever all ties with the alcoholic to cease any further damage to themselves. Hopefully this will help motivate the alcoholic to seek treatment and recovery.

Should you have to pay financially or emotionally for someone else's alcohol abuse?

Alcoholism is a disease and often it is caused by genetics if there is one or more people in the family with alcoholic problems. No one should have to pay financially for the drain the alcoholic is placing on a mate or their family because it is an enabling factor. Some alcoholics will sell everything they can around them or put themselves into debt; even lose their jobs in order to get their next drink. If the person has tried to get the alcoholic to AAA and they are going to Alanon to deal with the alcoholic and the alcoholic refuses to even try then it would be to the mate's best interest to move on in their own life. You cannot help someone that will not help themselves and by staying it will drain the mate's energy; they often have financial woes; feel lonely because the alcoholic mate prefers the company of other people who drink; arguing and sometimes verbal to physical abuse by the alcoholic re their mate not to mention any children living in an environment of turmoil.
