SR Miller, I have someone very close to me that has a drinking problem, and I honestly never had that growing up. For years I have struggled not lnowing the best way to handle it. I was interested in going to Al-Amon to learn how to handle it. With the wrong person it can be extremely abusive.

Wish I could offer advise - but substance abuse is something out of my purview. Over the years I’ve felt the effects of alcohol - not a feeling I relish, and got DRUNK drunk 3x: first with my mate Tom at the time when we extolled beyond our knowledge the merits of Virginia Gentleman vs Kentucky Gentleman - first time I’d ever seen double rofl, a 2nd time over seriously cheap beer. Then a little too much with my barracks mates at a bar in Quantico before hiking back to the barracks. It wasn’t until years later that came to the realization dad needed his liquor more than I thought wise - as a kid I was amazed at the variety and assortment of bottles and their shapes.
At the moment, broadly speaking, I’m watching my son: he seems to enjoy alcohol more than I - don’t think it’s an issue but I’m watching as best as I. An. The husband of a colleague of his wife is in the ICU now after a drunk plowed into him on Friday: brain bleed and his body is busted up; in image of the vehicle is recognizable only by a passenger tire that’s visible. Hopefully my son, who was raised with wisdom takes notice and internalizes this. Frankly, I wish weed had never been legalized - the health implications should have been enough, and I would lose sleep if prohibition had never been repealed - outside of the issues it caused socially.
I do hope you find a away to get thru to your friend
Find one to go to James. I go to them when I visit my childhood friend in the San Juan Islands, WA once a year. She had an alcoholic husband for almost 40 years before he quit, she went to meetings all that time to learn how to live with, react and love an alcoholic.
Just yesterday, she invited me to log online to attend her Tuesday meetings. She told me the new term they are using is, "stay on your own ladder." When you lean over to try to help your spouse, your adult children, your friend, you tip over and hurt yourself and them.
