Me too! People and family can be amazingly supportive if someone finally admits they need some help. But alcohol is very addicting, and a popular social activity, so obviously people get dependent on it, for relaxation or temporary relief from stress and depression, and it's really hard to give up for some people. Recovery is a tough road, certainly nothing easy about it.
Maybe all that's been in the news lately and even People magazine about women under more stress and hiding their drinking problems, and the terrrible accident in the news last month, has made more women aware!! I hope so.
Sadly, I think men have a tougher time admitting when they're too loaded to drive, but that's just my observation and opinion from personal experience - family, friends, associates - sadly alcoholism or drug use seems to affect most every family in some way.
