    Boy - what a mess! Since your cousin doesn't seem to be ready to face his demons it really is best for you all get as far away from him as possible.

    Al-Anon

    Have his parents and other relatives looked into Al-Anon? Some close to alcoholics have found it helpful over the years. They have meetings in most cities and towns in North America.

    I'd agree totally, if someone is not ready then there is little you can do for them.

    My aunt was saying tonight that she's going to look into it. The problem as she sees it is that my cousin refuses to see that there's anything wrong.

    EDIT: It has just occured to me that I can look into it, too. I live over an hour away, but maybe I can do something. I don't know. I've seen this coming for a while.

    ***Sigh*** Me, too.

    He's losing his house, he's lost his business, he's going to loose his daughter... None of us are really talking to him much any more. Maybe he'll figure it out.

    ...
    Right, the focus of Al-Anon is on helping relatives and loved ones of alcoholics help themselves rather than on how to help the alcoholic in their lives.
