Looking for help

[DavidM]

Hey all, I am looking for some advice. I'm here for my best friend. He is going through a tough time because of his alcohol addiction. He is drinking a lot these days, and he is struggling with both mental and physical issues. We have been trying to help him, but he is out of control. We decided to take him to some rehab to get some help, and we even found an (link removed - mod) in Toronto. But the thing is that he is not willing to go to rehab as it seems like he's scared to go. We are trying our best to convince him but he's not ready for it yet. What can we do about this? How can we convince him? It would be great if someone can share your valuable advice on this. Thanks.

How old is he ?

Guy needs help and hopefully he gets it.

I think he needs friends that are a good influence, then do stuff that gets him away from drinking. Yeah, easier said than done.

I've been told that they're truly not ready until they've hit what they consider rock bottom.

As an 17 year recovering alcoholic in the AA program, he will not help himself until he hurts tooooo much. An intervention with family and friends may help as will a talk with a recovered alcoholic friend may help him decide. Pray he decided to get help before the alcohol finishes him. Ed

How many folks join a lube website to talk about their addicted "friend" in their first and only post?
SPAM of a different nature is still spam.
If the OP wants to continue, he can PM me first.
