What do you do when someone you love drinks and drives? In this Q&A episode of Bottled Up, John tackles this particularly difficult dilemma and explores the choices, responsibilities and potential consequences involved when a loved one’s drinking puts other people at risk. We also answer listeners’ questions about what happens when the drinking stops but the damaging behaviour continues, whether counselling alone is enough, and how to plan an effective intervention — including who should be there, what they should contribute and why choosing the right people matters.

Please be very clear that, at Bottled Up we strongly advise people not to remain in violent or abusive relationships. We understand fully that in many cases circumstances can become untenable. We discuss this fully in our Podcast "Should I Stay or Should I Go".
