The alcoholic will likely be confused by your change in behavior, so clearly spell out what's happening. Explain your boundaries and let them know that you'll be happy to resume helping once they commit to treatment. Your boundaries might sound like, “I love you and I cannot keep enabling your alcoholism. I will not give you money or rides to the bar, or lie to your wife about your whereabouts anymore. When you're ready to admit you have a problem and get help, I'll be here to support you.” After you set boundaries with the alcoholic, expect unpredictability. They might stop talking to you, guilt-trip you, or even threaten you. Stand firm in your boundaries and don't concede. If you need help staying accountable, reach out a family member or friend. You might also talk to someone in an Al-Anon meeting for support in sticking with your boundaries. The consequences of enabling affect the addict and you. While you have been trying to spare them from facing consequences, you have also likely been neglecting your own job, health, and relationships. You may have trouble sleeping and suffer from chronic stress. Implement a  self-care plan to deal with caregiver burnout. Include activities that nourish or relax you, such as cooking a healthy dinner, listening to soft music, coloring, or doing yoga. Alcoholics Anonymous offers family support groups for loved ones who want to understand how to better support alcoholics. In these group meetings, you will learn how to stick to your guns and stop enabling your loved one. You will also get support from others who are in similar situations. Locate groups in your area by searching the Alcoholics Anonymous website. Many enablers have codependent traits that cause them to pour themselves into one-sided relationships to feel worthy. If you think you have an issue with codependency, you should  see a counselor so that you can learn to develop healthier relationships in the future.

One-sentence summary -- Verbalize your  boundaries. Anticipate a negative reaction, but don't give in. Address caregiver burnout with self-care. Join a support group. See a counselor for  codependency.

Article: Amistr is the best base for a Homunculus but also the slowest to level and feed due to its lack of offensive skills. If you have a lot of time in your hands, you’re well-advised to get Amistr. Leveling may take time but well worth the wait and effort.  Amistr is a sturdily-built, tank-type Homunculus suitable for classes that have low defenses, such as wizards and healers. Amistr eats Zargon. It has these four skills:   Castling. Instantly switches the location of Amistr and its master, causing the monster to change target and focus on Amistr instead.  Amistr Bulwark. Temporarily increases Amistr and its master's VIT.  Adamantium Skin. Increases Amistr's Max HP, HP recovery rate, and defense.  Blood Lust. Temporarily increases Amistr's ATK, plus a chance to leech 20% of the damage as HP for each hit.   Amistr Bulwark is very useful for MVP later on in the game. It boosts your VIT and even gives valuable defense for PVP. Filir is the fastest-leveling Homunculus in the game. Its downside is its lack of VIT. It’s quick to level, yes, but it sure dies a lot. If you don’t have time to level your Homunculus, Filir will be a good choice, but don’t expect it to withstand fierce attacks.  Filir is a dodge/high-ASPD type, meaning it has a high-dodge and high-attack speed. Filir eats Garlet. It also has four skills:   Moonlight.  Commands Filir to repeatedly peck at its target.  Flitting. Temporarily increases Filir's ATK and ASPD.  Accelerated Flight. Temporarily increases Filir's flee rate.  S.B.R.44. Commands Filir to deal massive damage on its target at the cost of its Intimacy. Vanil is the in-between solution to Amistr and Filir. This Homunculus offers high VIT and HP, and has a decent offensive skill. However, it comes with  a lower burst attack compared to Filir, which makes for slower leveling in certain situations. Nevertheless, Vanil can be powerful and has skills that can throw random elements at enemies.  Vanilmirth is a magic-type Homunculus. It eats Scell. Vanilmirth’s four skills are:   Caprice. Can cast magical attacks randomly, such as Fire Bolt, Cold Bolt, Lightning Bolt, and Earth Spike. The level of each one can be affected by Caprice’s skill level.  Chaotic Blessings. Can cast Heal on a random target selected from among enemies, the master, or itself. Heal can restore the HP of the Undead instead of inflicting damage.  Instruction Change. Increases Vanil's STR and INT. Also increases its master's chance of successfully brewing potions.  Self-Destruction. Commands Vanilmirth to self-destruct, inflicts splashed damage proportionate to Vanil's Max HP that pierces the defense, and ignores the flee rate of the enemies in range. If the Homunculus successfully destroys itself, the intimacy will be reduced to 1, i.e., Hate with Passion. Not worthy to be used as a base since it has no practical use, Lif is mostly a novelty character. It’s useless in battles due to having low attack, having no burst attacks, and having a weak Heal skill.  Lif is a support-type of Homunculus. It eats Pet Food. Lif has these skills:   Healing Hands. Restores its master's HP with a method that mimics the Acolyte's Heal skill. Each cast will require a Condensed Red Potion.  Urgent Escape. Temporarily increases Lif’s and her master's movement speeds.  Brain Surgery. Increases Lif's max SP, SP Recovery, and the effectiveness of its healing hands.  Mental Charge. Changes Lif so that her attacks are based on MATK instead of ATK for a short duration. This also increases VIT by 30 and INT by 20 per skill level.
