Q&A: Rehab for a Friend, Should I Convince Him to Go if He Is Not Ready?

Question by KhrisB: Rehab for a friend, should I convince him to go if he is not ready?
I have a friend who is an admitted alcoholic. The problem is, he does not want to quit. He says he “enjoys drinking” and does not believe AA and a rehab program would help. (He completed a 30 day program in 2003 and resumed drinking soon after leaving) What should I do?

Wait until he is ready to seek help and be supportive when he is. It will only make things worse if you continually ask him to go to rehab. People have more successful recoveries when they make the decision to do so by themselves. Be supportive when the time comes…good luck!
