How to behave around a raging alcoholic???

I was married to an alcoholic. Nothing you do is going to change his mind or his actions. Go ahead and drink the coke so you look like the better fella, but its not going make him stop drinking. Not sure exactly how bad his is, but my ex wife's was extremely bad!

 

Stop hanging out with him entirely. He associates you with alcohol.

He should go to some inpatient treatment facility especially if he's physically dependent. That will get him "away" for a few weeks or months. Then maybe he'll remain abstinent.

Maybe not. Probably not.

Tell him to go get a Vivitrol shot, which blocks the booze from inebriating and controls urges.

Anyways, he should get checked out and possibly medicated.

It ain't your responsibility to be an angel nor a good influence, but I would stop hanging with him until he gets "help." I imagine your relationship is primarily based upon you two chilling and drinking. So, maybe it's time to end that.

Ahhh the webs we weave.....

 

keep some work tools around by the door and when u answer it put on ur gogles and grab a tool..then say oh man in the middle of ripping,cutting etc etc..either way z is right it wont stop him,,he will just drink by hisself..you also need to think about yoursef..if before u drank 1-3 times a week then hanging with him you now drink 4-5 times a week,,well u are now forming a problem of your own...slippery slope...

 

Zero, you were married to Joan Kennedy?

 

Everyone has that neighbor. The best thing to do is to stop hanging around with this guy, move on. He will get the point and make changes, that is the only way to help these kinds of people.

 

Neither, I'd avoid him like the focking plague.

It's sad, but he's destroying himself, and nothing you can do will change that. Spare yourself from listening to his drunken pontification. I've know several severe alcoholics...

My parents neighbour died a year and a hald ago, at early 50's. Left behind a wife and two girls, HS/MS aged. He was always a raging alchy, but over the course of 4 years his health deteriorated rapidly. Utterly selfish when ya think about it.

My dad drank hard while I was growing up. Mean as schit when he wanted to be. Quit cold turkey, on his own, no Jesus, no AA. Much respect for that. Alcohol is a mean and nasty drug.

Then there's Mr. Nivens, you could smell the death in his urine.

 

4 outta 4 say avoid at all costs, it's not you're problem bruh.


Yo Riley, the woman and I saved a dog yesterday.

 

Avoid him like a disease. Stay out of the whirlpool.

 

I'll be 5th to chime in. Alcoholics are manipulative. You are not, nor ever will be, his saviour. The wives are, unfortunately, wrong. If he dies, you bear NO responsibility.. it is not your fault, and you should never think it is.

 

An alcoholic dog?

No, really, what happened?

 

Nah, he was sober, but lost. We were watching your favourite intersection, saw him almost get tagged by a car, so we got him and called the owner. No biggie.

Sorry to derail fungus. Don't feel bad about being a cock.

 

As they say on the streets, " Good lookin', SS."

 

Thanks dawg.

 

Don't worry, you're not. Remember, "Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceptive." A true and sincere friend will be honest in such a crucial situation, and perhaps it may lead him to get help. As already stated by others, continuing to hang out with him while he drinks will only serve to embolden his destructive behavior.

 

You're 100% right.

 

Would I bring over a coke or drink with him? I would drink with him personally but I don't think you should. It is kind of lame to show up with a coke and be a good influence If he's not too hammered hell see right through it. You should probably tell him your not going over there if he's getting too hammered because he is getting too hammered.

If you are this worried about him I think you need to give him a little wake up talk.

If he wants to drink he is going to drink.

 

or you could tell him you're worried about his drinking because of what happened with his heart, and tell him you'll hang out (if you want to of course), but you wont drink with him

 

that's NOT you being a ****. Complete opposite actually.
