I have a friend that has a very bad drinking problem. He is a great person when he doesn't drink. But when he does it scares me because he is just not the same person.I am afraid that he is gonna drink to much and do something stupid.
He says he has got it under control but I know different. If I try to stop him he is going to be mad at me for life. But if I don't stop him I could still lose him for life and it would kill me if that happen.
I have said something to him before and he just got mad at me.I have tried to talk to someone about it and they all tell me the same thing which is that they don't know what to do. So I have come to my blog friends in I need of some help. Should I tak the chance. Of losing my friend and help him or just let him. Work it out on his own. Someone help me out cuz I am not sure what to do.
There is a song that I have been thinking about its lyrics are amazing. Hope. You like them.
"When your week,I'll be strong When you let go I'll hold you,
When you need to cry I swear that I will there to dry your eyes ,
When your lost and scared to death when you can't take one more
Step,just take my hand and together we can do this ,
I'm gonna love you through this."
You probably can't help him, Lyndsie. If you pick him up, he'll just keep falling down. You have to let him hit bottom; that's usually when, if people are going to get help, they make the choice to do it.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to stand by and do nothing, but really we are all just bystanders when it comes to alcoholism. The best thing you can do is refuse to be an enabler (giving money, food, shelter when your friend chooses booze over all else).
Good luck. You're between a rock and a hard place, for sure.
