Veins on nose
I am 38. I am a regular drinker but I do not consider myself to have a problem. I get a bit buzzed on weekends and have a few on most weekdays. My nose is starting to get bumpy and red veined. WTF? Can this be from dinking even though I’m not even 40?

Read answer →Treatment for a relative
I just caught my brother in law smoking crack in our garage. My sister has already thrown him out of the house once before for his drugs and because he was bringing it into the house and around their two young kids who are only 14 months and 4 years old. He begged me not to tell his wife. He told me he was trying to quit and he was just having a hard time, but I am not sure if I should believe him. He is a really great guy that I like a lot and that was very good to my sister before the drugs got bad about a year ago. He swore to me if I didn't say anything he would start going to NA meetings and find a treatment program this week. I don't know if I am being foolish to believe him or if I finally have some leverage to help him? What I want to know, is , is this a stupid idea? If i force him into a treatment program with this threat of my telling his wife hanging over his head is it going to do him any good, or am I just putting my nephews at risk for no reason?
Read answer →Compulsive shopping
My sister is a compulsive shopper. This is my term and not her label because she would deny that she has any problem at all. But when you go and look in her apartment you would know that she does, when you see the hundreds of pairs of shoes that are almost never worn and the clothes overflowing everywhere. She has serious financial problems. Credit card debt she can't get on top of and she keeps borrowing money from our parents that she never seems able to pay back, and my parents are on a fixed income and don't have a lot to spare although they will always help her. Everyone in the family agrees with me that she has a problem and she needs some help. Is an intervention an appropriate thing to try in this situation and what type of treatment should we ask her to get?

Read answer →Problem: anger or alcohol
Whenever I get really angry I always feel an urge to start drinking and I think the drinking helps me to let the anger out so I can get back to a normal state of mind. When I am not angry I do not feel strong urges to drink, although I still do sometimes drink. Some people are saying I have a drinking problem and that I need to get some help. I do not think this is so. I do not feel an urge to drink unless I get very angry first. Other than that I can take it or leave it. Doesn’t this mean I have more of an anger problem than a drinking problem. If I didn’t get angry quite as often I would not need to drink any more as much as I do. I am at the moment in a difficult relationship with my girlfriend and I tend to lose my temper pretty good with her a few times a week.
