My best friends husband, who is also my best friend is an alcoholic, he drinks everyday, it is early in the day and he has called me at work, he was already drunk. His doctor has given him less than 2 years to live, if he stops drinking, if not he could drop dead anytime. I bought him the movie MY name is Bill W. it is a movie about alcoholics, he watched it twice so far in one week. he ends up in the hospital 2 - 3 times a month from his body going into spasams and they either detox him or just send him home after a couple of days. his wife is sad all the time and is at her whits end. We are lost and don't know what else to do. I think there should be a place where people like him can be sent to and locked up until they are better, everywhere he has gone to for help he walks out of and goes home, then it starts all over again. Does anyone know of a place that will force him to stay (locked up for his own good)??
