  Many of the programs recommend therapy first. No one wants to drink themselves to death, even though it feels like that sometimes.

  The guilt and shame is brutal, and shouldn’t be used to try to change someone into behaving better. It’s like spanking you kids, which is illegal now (at least whew I’m at).

  Same, but the community was great. Being around people that understand is so beneficial.

  I had 2 interventions in my life and neither worked. In fact, they made it much worse for me.

  I suggest that you go to AlAnon and learn a bit about alcoholism before trying anything (btw, AlAnon is not AA, but is a program to help non-alcoholics understand what they’re dealing with.)

  Your friend is lucky to have you. Don’t give up on them. It truly is hellish.

  We’re talking internet here, bub.

  No, not everybody hates ads. Everybody hates today’s ads, because they’re literally as intrusive and annoying as the designers can make them. I didn’t have a problem with ads 15 years ago, but because I have to pay for my bandwidth, and because ads like to literally block what I’m reading with a giant, 100MB, unskippable video, I use an ad blocker.
