You can't stop them. The best you can do for yourself is learn how to maintain your independence from them and keep yourself out of their line of fire as much as possible.

First, you should read up on the disorder. There are dozens of good websites sponsored by well known hospitals and other respected institutions that sponsor web pages devoted to Narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder. Narcissistic behavior is predictable. If you have a good understanding of narcissism you will have the tools to deal with it more constructively. Here are a few pointers:

  • Keep your distance- don't get too close and do not let them into your personal life. Do not share any personal information to the extent possible.
  • Be practical about the disorder- you won't change them so step back whenever their narcissistic behavior rises to the surface.
  • Avoid conflict generally, but
  • Define some limits- in some cases by not responding to inappropriate behavior you reinforce it- for example: if you must have continued exposure to the narcissist do not allow him/her to "tell you off", raise their voice at you, or treat you with disrespect.
  • Do not try to argue or reason with them- your winning or convincing is counter to their world view- they will not allow it.
  • Gain more understanding to enable you to work as constructively as possible.
  • Give practical support when and if they ask for it.
  • Maintain your own social contacts so that you can minimize the time you have to spend with the narcissist.

Does a narcissist every change any behaviors for example stop drinking?

No. A narcissist cannot change. Narcissism is an untreatable personality disorder. It is unrealistic to believe a narcissist can change any behavior. In the world of the narcissist, he or she is center, remorseless, and sees no reason to change. He may manipulate his chosen one into believing he will change as manipulation and omnipotence are core to his insatiable need to control and keep his partner. Losing is not an option for the narcissist. Because of his inability to feel remorse, the narcissist acts out normal responses based purely on observation of others. He may say he will stop drinking to keep the relationship of abuse and chaos intact. Indeed, he cannot perceive a reason not to do exactly as he chooses to do. The narcissist lacks the ability to be accountable to any person or promise. He has no sense of remorse, no need or feelings for others exept to objectify
