I have suspected for a little while that my daughter has been drinking too much and found out today from her flatmate that she has been drinking to excess for some time. Her friend has tried to help her by herself but she called me this morning to talk to me about it as my daughter had got very drunk last night and tried to cut herself with a knife. She is ok, did no physical damage. I went round to her place to talk to her but she just kept saying she didn’t want to talk about it. Her friend and I kept talking to her trying to let her know we were concerned and were there for her no matter what. I know she knows she has a problem and I think she is aware enough to do something about it. I desperately want to help her. I would appreciate any advice anyone has as to what are the best things to say and do to help her get help.
