It helps only with my physically pain really. -- Posted by Jman19 at 10:39 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Alcoholics cannot 'control' their problem without giving up alcohol. The alcohol is in control of them, not the other way around. -- Posted by ashleyreneen at 10:40 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Quote: from Count Suckula at 10:39 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 How much is he drinking for you consider him an alcoholic? It helps only with my physically pain really. he drinks til he passes out almost every night... -- Posted by hi sarah at 10:42 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 eh you can't really help, you as a friend can't tackle his alcoholism. just i guess try to offer him alternatives to drinking? try getting him hooked on water
