My Aunt May is a mess. Her husband left her for another woman who is 10 years younger than her. Her daughter Mikka abandoned her because she wants to migrate to Chile with her boyfriend. Aunt May, deeply hurt and dejected, developed a habit of abusing alcohol. She discovered the "good " effects of alcohol and she never stopped drinking ever since. She says that it's her new water and her new best friend. She almost finished every single bottle in her husband's wine collection. I really want to help her but she won't listen to me. She says that I'm still young and I have no right to tell her what to do. I need to find an alcohol rehab. She really needs some help.

You maybe young but I believe that you have the right to tell her what to do because she's not in her right state of mind. Being older doesn't mean that you're wiser. I feel bad for her though. I may not know the reasons why her husband and her daughter left her but I know that being abandoned by your family is probably one of the most painful you'll ever experience. Anyway, I included some sites to help you look for alcohol rehabs. Good luck with your search!

There are a lot of free AA groups she can attend. I suggest you find an Al-Anon group for those dealing with addicts. They can help you get her help.

They have them all over the country; including California. When it comes to drinking; it can be your business to help her. Do what you can to get her straight. She's just feeling sorry for herself because she was rejected. She doesn't have to be alone unless she wants to be. She needs to realize what the bad effects of alcohol are. Liver problems for one.
