In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: One of the ways you may be enabling your alcoholic loved one is by drinking with them. You might rationalize that if you are there you can stop them from going overboard, but what you are doing is actually condoning the behavior. If you are able to consume alcohol responsibly, do so away from the alcoholic. If they are around, suggest healthier alternatives for dealing with stress, such as exercise or a comedy film. Giving an alcoholic money reinforces their addiction. Even if the cash isn't intended to buy alcohol, you are still enabling their alcoholism by financing them. If they had to face the financial consequences of their drinking, they'd be forced to get help.  The next time the alcoholic asks you for money, say something like, "Heather, whenever I give you money, you use it for alcohol. I won't do it anymore." Don't apologize or come up with a handy excuse—just refuse. You may have fallen into the habit of lying and making excuses for the alcoholic. Maybe you call in to their workplace and say they’re sick. Or, maybe you lie and say you helped them finish the bottle of vodka when they really did it alone. Don't use your words to get the alcoholic out of trouble or keep the addiction hidden. Doing so simply gives them permission to continue. It is important for them to face the consequences of their actions and deal with them on their own. All in all, your enabling prevents the alcoholic from facing the consequences of their addiction. By letting these consequences play out, you offer your loved one the best chance of recovering.  The idea of letting your loved one “hit rock bottom” may be frightening, but many experts in the addiction community find that when a person doesn't experience a rock bottom, they aren't motivated to change. You can still assure their relative safety by taking measures to prevent them from hurting themselves or someone else. For example, you might take their keys if they are attempting to drink and drive. They'll be forced to catch a ride or hail a cab, but they won't be able to hurt anyone.
Summary: Don't consume alcohol with the person. Don't give the person money. Stop lying and making excuses for the person. Let some of the natural consequences take place.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There might be just a handful of people who you have a hard time empathizing with, such as an annoying classmate or a nosy family member. It is also possible that you find it difficult to empathize with an entire group of people, such as women, Protestants, or Canadians. Try to pinpoint all of the people who you have trouble empathizing with, even if your list is long. Write out your list of people and/or groups of people. Now that you have identified the groups or individual people you cannot seem to empathize with, consider why that is. What is it about these particular people or groups of people that seems so alien? Do they make you feel angry, afraid, confused, or something else? Write out your reasons for feeling alienated from these people or groups of people. After identifying your reasons for feeling alienated, try to think about what you have in common with that person or group of people. Even if your lives seem completely different, you probably share some important goals and interests. For example, you might feel very different from someone who comes from a different country and religious background than you, but you probably both care about your friends and families, appreciate basic human rights and freedoms, and want to be successful. Focus on these common interests and this may help you to feel empathy for the person or group of people you have identified.
Summary:
Identify people who you find it hard to show empathy for. Ask yourself why it is difficult for you to empathize with certain people. Look for common ground with people who are different from you.
