There is virtually nothing you can do to make an alcoholic quit if they do not want to. They will lie cheat and steal to continue drinking as long as they want to continue. The only thing you can do is change your relationship with the alcoholic if it is causing problems for you.

∙ 16y agoThe bottom line is that you cannot help an alcoholic who doesn't want help. You simply cannot make them stop drinking if they don't want to. They key in this situation is to help them want to. This is usually only achieved by drastic measures by family and friends such as cutting off money, kicking them out of the house etc. A lot of times an intervention will achieve letting the alcoholic know that you aren't going to tolerate their behavior anymore.

Alcoholics do not stop drinking until they have no choice, and anything you do to get their feet out of the fire will just give them leeway to drink some more. For more information, Google "Alanon". It is an organization for family and friends of alcoholics that can help you understand why the above is the case, and what you may be able to do when the time comes.

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.
