Suggesting someone to seek treatment?


Recommended Posts

My roommate have issues with binge drinking while alone, as well as mixing alcohol and anti-anxiety medication. I had long time fear that this puts her at risk, and shared it with her on few occasions, but she either: 1) rejects that there is a problem 2) gets a little insulted. To support my fears, she recently hurt herself quite badly by losing balance after one of her drinking nights :(

 

How to approach this situation? I'm moving out of the house soon for other reasons, but I'd hate to leave the situation as it is. We're close but I feel like not close enough to be very blunt.

Anyone you can contact that may be closer to her? Family? A good friend?

 

 

It's not tattling, and you shouldn't feel bad about telling someone else about what you've seen. I'd rather someone hate me and still be alive than to be dead and have that burden on my soul.

Thanks - I'd talk to a close friend of hers before I leave....The friend is already aware so it won't be news, just the extent will be a surprise, possibly...
