Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is important to stop enabling the person's behavior by covering up for them or making excuses for them. This allows the person to continue their destructive behavior without facing consequences. By stopping the enabling behavior, they may be more likely to recognize the severity of their problem and seek help. Intervening while the person is still intoxicated may not be effective because they may not be in a rational state of mind, and intervening alone may not be safe. It's also not helpful to suggest that the person only needs to cut down on their drinking, as this minimizes the severity of the issue and may not be possible for someone with an alcohol use disorder.
