Dear Haley,
A good start would be to express to your uncle exactly what you have posted on this recovery message board.....your love and concern for him clearly shows through abundantly in what you have written here and if your uncle doesn't already know that...... which i am sure he does... please tell him again and how much his drinking is hurting you and you want him to be in your life now and in the future....
I have many years of sobriety and i myself did it eventually through the rooms of AA but i was blessed in that i had a very loving and concerned family that wanted me to be well and whole again......i am not saying that love conquers all but sometimes it is enough to hear someone else say they will love and support us until we can learn to love ourselves again.....the fellowship of AA offers that loving support to the suffering alcoholic as well...

You sound like a lovely person yourself
