@hellion, while I agree with people helping out, there d0es c0me a time when people have to do something for themselves. Being a recovering alcoholic myself, and coming from a long line of alcoholics & addicts--and having been married to an alcoholic--I learned from experience that, no matter how much you help a person, if they don't want to be sober, they won't do it. My late husband had all kinds of "help" from people who were trying to "get him sober," but he just didn't want it, and he died of a heart attack brought on by a combination of meth and a very high alcohol level. He took total advantage of people trying to "sober him up." On top of that, he was disabled so the state would pay for his detox. So he spent a lot of in rehab also, where people would take care of him.

@jimi....I see what you're saying; but people are gonna do what they're gonna do no matter what anyone else does. And yes, sometimes people do die from it. We can only do so much.
