QUESTION:
I think my roommate has a serious drinking problem but when I express concern she brushes me off. What should I do?

ANSWER:
Continue to express your concern even if she gets mad. I’d rather have someone get angry at me than enable them to be self-destructive and cause serious damage to their life. You may want to get other friends or relatives involved. For professional consultation, call the Alcohol and Drug Assistance Program at 262-3148.

Sincerely,

Uncle Sigmund
