Thanks. My Male Friend 57 Is A Chronic Alcoholic And

Thanks. My male friend 57 is a chronic alcoholic and has not had a drink for a week and has gone through another session of self detoxing, which he does every 4-6 weeks. He has been having dizzy spells for the last 2 days, every 20minutes or so and lasting up to a minute each time. The dizzy spells have now gone and he just sleeps the hours away only getting up to urinate. He is drinking water, I suggest he sips it, but he doesn't, he gulps it down and he has been throwing up lots of white mucus with the water he is consuming. He has slight pain where I think his liver is. He will not seek proper treatment and has a fear of hospitals. I have been giving him lite dinners for the last 2 nites and he has kept the food down. Today he deficated after about a week. Oh and he hadn't eaten for 10 days prior to that. He is a big man and has definitely lost some weight, I would say 10kg. Any suggestions to make his life a bit more bearable, he is severely depressed and refuses any medication. Thankyou in advance.. I am sorry for wasting your time. I do not have any way to pay for this service. and considering his attitude, it would be a waste time for everyone involved...He will just have to cure himself....
