PLEASE HELP.
VERY URGENT & VERY IMPORTANT
My mum is an alcoholic and we have tried to help her through counselling but still we cannot separate her with Alcohol that is destroying her every minute. Is there medicine out there? Someone help before its very late.

Thanks to ya all for the contacts. Yes the first step to healing process is to admit. I was home two wks ago and after talking to her she accepted to seek help.I still wanna help her and I appreciate your help. Thanks for your contributions.

AA has meetings worldwide - try to find a group close to your Mum and hopefully she'll be willing to attend a meeting. It's a first step.

Dear Kassie.

There is no permanent cure for Alcolholism,but there are products such as antibuse which can be prescribed by your GP. This produces a severe reaction if mixed with alcohol and should be used with great caution. I have added the contact number for AA in Doha which you may like to use to find the number of an Al-Anon member who may be able to help you as a family member of an alcoholic.The first step in recovery for any Alcoholic is to admit He/she has a problem and for AA to be of any use your Mother must be willing to accept help and admit she has a problem.I am on holiday at the moment but will be back in Doha on Thursday. please PM me if you need any further info. God Bless you and yours.

+974 560 5901 AA helpline Doha.
