Stopping Alcoholism (SERIOUS)

[atomstetic]

My good friend is an alcoholic. He drinks almost every day. It's taken a toll on his health, and it's sad to see.

He recently crashed his car while drinking and driving. I really want to help him, and I don't want to lose him however, I'm not sure how.

He refuses to go to AA or a doctor. I ordered a shitload of glutathione, TUDCA, and melatonin to at least somewhat help his organs, but there's still the addiction part.
I thought about buying baclofen or other drugs from IndiaMart or administering retatrutide for him to reduce cravings, but I'm unsure.

If anyone has struggled with alcohol and stopped their addiction or dealt with something similar, I would love some advice.

Hes got to want it.

AA is the best option, but if he don't want to you cant force him.

I think he may be going through some sort of an existential crisis and hes indulging in drinking but i genuinely dont know.

Also, I'm neurodivergent so its hard for me to talk about these things or at all but I'm trying my best I'll genuinely do anything.

Thanks for the advice, maybe my friends and his family could talk him into AA.

Yeah, when someones abusing substances, theres always a reason.

Try talk some sense into him and get deep into why hes drinking so much, he might not of put two and two together

That's just replacing the addiction, I heard withdrawal effects of kratom are just as bad as alcohol and other drugs
