Still off the sauce! However no chips, i stopped going to my meetings just before christmas because i got all covid paranoid.
Good luck. I have a friend of mine in AA and he finds it very helpful.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Need some help fellas. One of my best friends has had a drinking problem for a while now and on friday we had a good heart to heart and i finally found out how bad it was, hes averaging about a bottle of vodka every 2-3 days so that could very well be every 1-2 days.
Hes a stubborn bastard and has refused any help but we cant let this go on anymore. Is AA the best start or should we look into some serious rehab? Hes got a family so is not ideal that he go to some place for weeks but its also not fair to his wife and kids that hes an alcoholic. Thanks in advance guys

does he want to quit? Is he talking to anyone any about thing else, like a therapist? I can't rank and rate the different options for you. Hard to force someone to change if they aren't interested.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

He definitely wants to quit but hes under the impression he can do it himself. He hasnt talked to a therapist at all but hes willing.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

some people can do it themselves. if he thinks he can do it himself, has he tried? If he's tried and it hasn't worked, he may need more help. He should be talking to someone.

He needs outside help for sure, hes tried and managed to get it under a bit of control at one point to where he only had so many drinks a day but hes back to just drinking whatever. He needs help 100% just not sure where to start. My one friend is looking into AA and possibly a full on rebhab place.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Thought you were messing around but i googled it and sure enough. Had no idea but after reading it it makes sense, hes to the point where he has to wake up in the middle of the night for a drink or else he starts to shake real bad so hes totally likely to have some serious withdrawalsThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Something isn't adding up. He's only having about 6 drinks per day if a bottle lasts 3 days. Those people are nowhere near waking up at night with the shakes.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I dont drink so i dont know how many drinks in a bottle but yeah hes definitely not doing 1 bottle every 3 days if its 6 shots a day. Like i said, he said 2-3 days per but it realistically is more like 1-2 days per bottleThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

On a sort of related note, my personal line for "when drinking is a problem" is if you feel you need a drink before work in the morning, or you would find it difficult to take 24 hours off. I was close enough to that line once that I found it frightening and I was able to walk back from it.

See I’ve always thought the line for me was closer to “if you can’t enjoy something without a drink” you are getting real close to having a problem.
