[Closed] Alcoholism - where to start helping a mate?

dashed · 2018-04-16T10:10:00Z

I don't know the full details yet, but a really good mate is in a bad place with the booze. I'm not adverse to a drink myself, but from what I understand, he's now pretty much dependent - booze early in the day, on brink of losing job, partner really worried about him etc. I have no idea where to start or how to approach the subject - he's not great at opening up to me when something is wrong, but I really want to do what I can to help. Any pointers from others who've been in similar positions?

Flip. Well done for going round. You might have saved his life there. Good luck to you both.

Good work Dashed! Its a real friend who takes the time and trouble to do that. Fingers crossed that the detox all goes well and he gets back to some semblance of normality
