Cousin - what do we do?

[HummingBeeBox]

Hi all. My cousin is an alcoholic and is currently living with my Nan and mum temporarily. His girlfriend has kicked him out. He is a complete mess and is drinking at least a bottle of spirits a day. My Nan is making herself ill trying to talk him round and help him. He keeps trying to get a taxi back home to see his girlfriend.

My mum days just let him but my Nan tries to stop him. It's all such a mess. My Nan is already un well and this is not helping at all.

Where to go from here? Haven't a clue. I don't know what the answer is as there is no housing out there for him and his mum and dad won't have him at their houses.

Horrible horrible situation

Maybe contact AA for family support and see if anyone can advise?

So sorry you have all this worry, there are alcoholics in my family, it’s an awful thing to deal with. If he doesn’t want to give up there isn’t much you can do but finding him a home so it isn’t making your Nan ill is the most important thing.

Thanks so much, I'll look at the links. He needs somewhere he can just be without it impacting us all so much.
