Default Agony Aunt

Apologies to those who hate non bike related threads but the mighty org can come up with some good answers.

Had bit of a shock this week, my Aunty hit rock bottom on Sunday night and said her goodbyes to everyone. Thankfully, unsucceful in taking her own life, she came to stay with me for a few days to get some space.
She has been drinking heavily for quite some time, thinks she may have a problem but she can handle it and control it.
Clearly she can't as she smelt of alcohol when I collected her from the train station (though she said it had been two days since she drank) and got drunk the first night and ony had a few the second, she said she wont drink today but its her anniversary on Saturday so will prob have a drink then. Any excuse if you ask me.

She is obviously very depressed and is trying to dust herself off and start again. I have helped where I can but this is the first time I have come accross a family memeber with a drink problem and not too sure how to handle it. Any advise guys n gals??


What a week!
