How do you help someone who struggles with an addictive personality
Genuine question.
A friend of mine keeps screwing up and falling off the wagon and he hates himeself for it every time because of the terrible decisions he makes. Besides offering my concern, I really don't know how else to get through to him, because he gets a one track mind when he drinks that leads him to doing things he regrets, but he knows what he's doing is stupid.
At the same time I can't be his babysitter, and I don't want to straight up deck him in the face to get my points across.
Anyway. Question stands.
Edit: Thanks for your perspectives, dudes.

Alcohol is a poor coping mechanism. A better coping mechanism is GETTING UP EARLY and WORKING on something you find MEANINGFUL and not making EXCUSES to not do the things you’re SUPPOSE TO. Basically the guy probably doesn’t feel good, because of this or that, so he throws himself into what’s easiest - vices and escape. Many have been there. Many have gotten through it. Many have been consumed by it. But there’s always a way for anyone to change for the better. Just takes the courage and discipline to do what’s best for yourself. Hard to do without good relationships though. And the first relationship is with yourself. Or god. Or your cat. Or anything that gives you the bravery to DO BETTER.
