Well you could take him to an AA meeting. Or to a doctor. Perhaps he needs moral support. As you're on the net print off the AA website and send it to him..

I'm just trying to think of positive things you could do.

Its a spooky situation. What with death threats etc.

I used to drink a lot too much for my own good, and anybody else's around me. Personally speaking, it took me a long time to give up and realise that I had to give up. Some of us are just a bit stupid on this subject.

i can remember making a similar sort of phone call. people have all sorts of inhibitions about seeking help. i remember being too ashamed to seek help. I can remember reading through the AA webpage and feeling really spooked. I haven't had a drink since - coming up to two years now.

at least your friend seems to want to stop, realises something is wrong woith his life. Took me a LONG time to admit that.

all the best with a tricky situation
