Comments for Friend Needs Help

Al-Anon A Good Resource

by: Ned Wicker


You might want to help the assistance from Al-Anon, to help you plan a strategy for getting your friend into treatment.

Your husband’s experience is also valuable, as I am sure he understands all of the excuses, all of the lies that are told and he is uniquely positioned to be a positive influence.

But you need a plan and a professional person to help you. Does your friend have family in the area that would be willing to work with you and an addiction professional?

The following listings are offered to help you contact Al-Anon and get assistance.
