HOW TO APPROACH SOMEONE WHO DRINKS HEAVILY Approaching someone you know to be drinking heavily can be quite hard if you don’t know what to look for. It can be obvious when they show up visibly drunk or drink too much in a short period. However, most of the time they might try to hide it, making it imperative for you to understand the signs of alcohol dependency.
It
can be humiliating to tell someone that you think they’re alcohol dependent, so often the best way is to show empathy and sensitivity to the situation. It’s best to show concern and let them know you’re genuinely worried for them. If it helps, put yourself in their shoes and approach how you would want to be approached. Practically, you have to choose the right moment to approach, a time when the mood is calm and you’re feeling confident. It can also be beneficial to have as much information as possible so that it’s easy to provide accurate facts and advice on what the next step should be. Getting the individual to the point of seeking help will hopefully be what’s needed to get them on a path to addressing their dependency.
