Sweetie, you can't help him unless you have been through it yourself. He needs to go to an alcohol treatment center or to at least AA meetings. He also has to do it for himself, not because you want him to. I would start calling the local hospitals and start getting some info on where he can go. Also, he can get really sick from detoxing so he needs to be under a doctors care for that. At the very least he needs to talk to his doctor and find out how and what to do. Good luck and God bless.

If he is still an alcoholic take him to AA or get him pyschological help immediately. If he is recovering, work with him to find activites that keep him away from alcohol. In the beginning try to have him stay away from alcohol as much as possible, but at the same time he can not be afraid of addiction and must realize he has overcome it. He has to really want to look forward to a life based on things other than alcohol for entertainment, relief from depression, or any other reason he may have used it

Take him to rehab clinic, that is what I had to do.
My boyfriend was a alcoholic but he got help. I have been with him for 6 years and I love him very much but alcohol makes you do crazy things. He cheated on me with someone else and I had to give him up. He got help and after a long while we got back together and now he is a recovering alcoholic and still goes to AA meetings in between college and work.

There is a fellowship called AA (alcohol anonymous) You can find it in local paper or if you could ask your doctor he will give you address to contact. If you care about your boyfriend then you both must go together. You can help him and encourage him to keep going to this fellowship.
For your second question. No. I do not think that kind of activities can be done with lots of girls. Physically and mentally one can not maintain the strength.

It is not easy. My husband was an alcoholic before we met. His mom says it is because of me that he is not today. When we were engaged, I set down rules. He WILL not go to bars without me, and if he did, and he came home smelling of alcohol, the next time he went out of the door, I would change the locks while he was out. We have been married for 27 years, and I have never had to change the locks. He has not had a drink in 25 years and he has never stepped out on me. Good luck to you and your boyfriend. It is not easy, but the effort is worth it. I wish you both well.

AA is a solid place for human beings to connect and help one yet another with alcoholism, yet he could could desire to be detoxed first. If he would not get detoxed, he could seizure and in all probability die if he's a on a daily basis drinker. you are able to flow to a collection noted as AL ANON, and it would be useful to handle his ingesting, and tutor you the thank you to help in solid techniques. (If he will become based on you, and you enable him, it incredibly is not any longer fairly a solid element) solid success. there is plenty!!! and that i advise somewhat some help available.

Go to an organisation that helps family-members of addicts.
U r quite likely co-addicted. Means that your behavior has changed already in response to his alcoholism.
He will have to go a long way - but u will face some issues as well in terms of behavior towards him. GEt professional help.
ASAP!

Leave him. You can't help people like this.
My father lose his whole family over alchol. No one but me will talk to him.
He almost die not long ago from alchol relate problem. Doctor has warned him if he drink again he most likely will die. Last time I saw him was a month after he almost die. Guess what? He drank two huge glasses of martini and a small glass of whiskey in a hour and half.
My mom lose her real father in very similar manner.
So my advice is, save yourself, your family and your future child from lot of grief, leave him!

Get him a counselor, into AA (including a sponsor), and KEEP HIM ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS ACTIONS. If you do not you are enabling him. You need to get invovled with Al-Anon and talk to others who have been there done that.
