My friend told me the other day that after being very drunk he peed on his coffee table. Another night he fell asleep and forgot that he was eating. Ended up flinging spaghetti all over his couch. He drinks very heavily and has for a long time. He hardly ever eats anymore. Is this a sign that he is in the last stages of alcoholism? We have tried everything to get him to get help, but he refuses and denies that he has a severe problem.

Definitely final stages of alcoholism, but as cliche as this sounds... the 1st step to recovery is to admit you have a problem. If your friend is not willing to get help there's nothing you can do, but be there for him the best way you know how;)

i may be very traumatic. It feels like he's often eating countless alcohol. A 5th plus a pair beers is a lot exceedingly if he's doing this on a regular basis. eating regular in great quantities is heading for alcoholism if he's no longer already there. Alcoholism is the inabillity to no longer drink. You hear all or the motives like he won't be able to sleep except he's blitzed. If he's headed in that course i might communicate on your healthcare expert or pastor for help. Then i might touch ALANON. they seem to be a help team for families of alcoholics and that they besides as your healthcare expert and pastor can verify his habit and are available to a decision if he's in hardship and in the event that they propose an intervention. Many alcoholics produce different kin with the disease. they alter their habit while they are inebriated. They detirerate over the years and initiate lacking artwork. Hiding bottles at residing house to make advantageous they have booze close handy. they only can no longer get alongside devoid of it. It will become the all significant element of their existence over you and your infants even. So it is significant that he's properly clinically determined so as that he can get the right therapy. some want in-affected person rehabilitation in a reliable drug application. Others will do ok in the event that they connect AA. It comes right down to him attending to the factor the place he acknowledges his lack of ability to give up eating and soliciting for help.you won't be able to try this for him yet you could set it up so as that he has been clinically determined properly and you will help him by utilising giving him the help and hard like it takes to get by this. AA has a twelve step application that truly works properly. If he is going that course. If he's an alcoholic and you seize it early your lives and marriage would be lots happier. God Bless you the two

He has to wake up and decide that he does need help and he has got a problem. In the end alcoholics prefer the booze rather than food, then that in it'self creates problems I know somone who was an alcoholic, had the same symptons, and eventually died of an alcoholic epileptic fit. Hope he wakes up before it's too late.

the last stages? well alcoholics often live a long time but the eating this is more concerning and of course he has a problem.
he needs help and his family and friends are the only ones who can help him at this point. and i dont mean the friends at the local bar.

Like someone else said you can't help someone who doesn't want help!!
That being said you can do an intervention.
Basicly you get a small group of family, friends, his doctor would be helpful, someone from a church. Anyway you confront him, all at the same time. The goal is to get him to see what he is doing to himself and his family, and see if he will check into a clinic.
God Bless, I do

Sounds like your buddy is going overboard with the binge drinking, try taking him and going with him to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. Good Luck

Your friend has a bad alcohol problem. Until he accepts that he does there is nothing you can do.
As a friend you must make sure that you don't enable him, that means you don't make it easier for him to drink or if he does something stupid, you must not protect him. The only way he will see he has a problem is when he has to face the music.

Yes indeed. He will not admit he has a problem until his life completely falls apart. Tell him that if he doesn't go to an AA meeting you can't be his friend any more. When he doesn't, follow through.

It is a problem not only because he is an alcoholic, but it sounds like he could get badly injured or killed from what he is doing.
