My best friend is an alcoholic

And over the last few years I've been watching him drink himself to death. He refuses to go to rehab and he refuses any type of help. Im at my wit's end and just don't know what to do anymore. He means so much to me but im losing him...

😭💔

I sympathise with you. I had similar issues and concerns with my wife. For many years she was functional and you couldn't tell...and then the wheels fell off.

For her, she had to get to the stage where we saw a doctor for a, seemingly unrelated concern, tell her that she had 9 months left to live if she didn't stop. That was her rock bottom. We have children. She didn't want to lose them....leave them.

Your friend needs to find his own rock bottom, sadly.

I wish you luck.
