How To Treat Alcohol Addiction?
I have a dear friend who lives in Knoxville, TN and at this moment he is in the process of killing himself by alcohol. I am in IL, where he used to live, and have no resources to try and get him help. He has now been drunk, withdrawal and throwing up for the past two weekd. He has been addicted to alcohol, seriously, for the last five years, had a DUI, wrecked his car, etc. HELP!
