Just got off the phone with a good friends soon to be ex wife.
He’s in the bottle.
125 ML of Tito’s every day, remote work since COVID.
Me and his brother will be rolling in to help him move, hopefully get him into a facility. He’s got good insurance
Called the director today
Hopefully he’s receptive, everybody's rock bottom is different.

He’s got good insurance Called the director today Hopefully he’s receptive, everybody's rock bottom is different. His is the only one that matters. If he's not buying in, it's not going to work. Understand that the best intentions, don't mean shit when it comes to addiction. You may not be able to help him...all you can really do is offer him the choice.....and tell him, "it's not like he has a choice". You can do that before you leave. And "remote work since covid" is an excuse. Lots of people made tough choices during and after covid.... Good luck |

And I'm hoping this doesn't become a giant years long vortex and sucks in innocent, hard working, well meaning people. Either he gets it or he doesn't.....all you can do is be available when he decides how his life is going to end. He's a big boy, he's in control...not you. You may not realize how bad this can get. It's not like you're helping a friend, it's more like you're fighting a demon....the devil himself. You can fight that battle, but you absolutely cannot win. Only your friend can do that. |

He’s sick. Dry heaving, got a bad report from the doc. Fatty liver. Don’t know how tired he is. I’m hoping for the best, he’s in his mid 40’s.

What stage is fatty liver? I was stage 1 non bridging fibrosis.
Liver disease don't play it killed a HS friend of mines mom. She didn't live but a month after they told her she was sick. Alcoholics both parents.

My sympathies.....much love.
I made a deal with the devil a long time ago. There is no human alive that drinks more than I do. I don't understand why God calls some people home early.

It can backfire and you would become his enemy. |
