My friend's boyfriend drinks... A LOT!?
I'm really concerned. My best friend's boyfriend drinks an 18-pack of beer a day, at least. He also smokes weed every day AND crack at least a few times a week. I'm so shocked at the spiral he's been on for the last couple of years. He literally wakes up in the morning and opens a beer. He went through this before when he was about 21 (9 years ago,) and then he went to rehab. It's obvious that he's addicted, but I want to know how a person like that overcomes addiction. Do they have to enter a detox program to deal with withdrawls? Or is it something they can overcome on their own?

the drinking he miight have been able to quite on his own the weed he miiight have been able to quite on his own, but when you combine the two along with crack...there is no way he can over come this on his own without a detox facility. if it has gotten to the point where he neeeeds a beer when he wakes up he definantly needs some help. you should try to persuade(gently) your friend to convince him to get help, she should suggest they take a break from a romantic relationship during his recovering so that he can focus primarily on getting better, she should also let him know that while she wont be with him romantically that she is there as a friend to support him through this tough time:)
well as i no most people that have an addiction like him a good percent of them cant get out of it on there own the best bet is have them go to rehab and like u said take detox programs or sometimes this works: sometimes there family and friends and gfs or wifes can get them out but even that is a 50 50 but the best bet i think is to go to rehab and see my moms a social worker so she deals with these people alot one thing they can do it mayb send them to court where i think it is every week they test for drugs or alchohol in the system and if they do well they go to jail until it wears off but its also a good way because they no that they cant because they will get tested so this is a good method to
This is me saying this so... Please dont go any further with him if he doesnt change. give him a choice.You or the crap he uses. You WILL regret it in 10 years if u dont
