Question by ktmwojo: I’m not an alcoholic, but I want to learn the best way to support an alcoholic.?
Is an A.A. meeting right for me? I don’t have a problem drinking. I’m not even 21 yet. But I want to be able to support the alcohlolic I know. He gets angry when I question him or bring up the topic but I am honestly just trying to let him know I am there for him. Should I go to an AA meeting or is there another alternative to help “the helper” out?

you can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped and clearly he doesn’t want to be.
