In Craig P's words

For many years now my family has been dealing with the unpleasant fear that our son has a drinking problem. How exactly do you go about confronting a son who is of adult age with your concerns and more important, how do you go about getting him the help he so desperately needs?

Like in many cases, it all comes into focus when it is almost too late

My family was lucky for two reasons: first when he finally had such serious medical problems he had to be hospitalized, he was lucky not to die. Secondly, it was at this time that we found Gianna Yunker who agreed to provide the help the entire family desperately needed.

No one in our family was in any way knowledgeable of what kind of services were available to provide us with the necessary guidance to help our son. But we were lucky to find Gianna Yonker who not only helped guide us through the the process of understanding the issues of alcoholism but also provided us with the proper steps of understanding what our son needed for support as well as what he did not need.

Basically she guided us through the entire process while gaining the trust of our son and creating a relationship with him which helped keep the family in a coordinated action plan of recovery.

I am afraid to think of what could have transpired, had we not had Gianna to guide us. For anyone going through the gut wrenching trials and tribulations of a family members alcoholism, I can not recommend anyone more capable of helping everyone involved in the proper process of dealing with this difficult situation then Gianna. I think she saved our son and our family!

Start with the situation as it is.

You do not need to know whether your family needs intervention, coaching, treatment navigation, or long-term support before reaching out. That is part of the work.
