When helping a pregnant woman with a drinking addiction you should not: expect instant success be a cheerleader for her encourage her to talk with her health care provider talk on the phone with others for support

Answer 1

Best answer is: expect instant success

Alcoholism is a difficult disease, which includes both a psychological and physical dependence. It cannot be fixed overnight, even if a woman is pregnant. You should be a cheerleader for her and encourage her to talk to her doctor. You should also have a support system of your own, and talk on the phone with loved one when you need to, while respecting her privacy as well.
