It sounds as if HE should convert. Baptists have to drink alone. But whenever you find four Catholics together there's always a fifth.

May I give a freind your e-mail address? He's been drinking for years but keeps saying he wants to quit before he gets too old.\nAs for me I am a little mean to him, I won't buy him beer, I won't be around him if he is drinking and I won't even talk to him on the phone.He trys to make me feel guilty but I tell him if he wants to be around me be sober!\nI won't plead or beg him anymore, but I do pray for him.

Dont panic! Make sure he abstains at least 48 hrs from taking any toxins. Go to your nearest Smoke/Head or vitamin center at mall maybe, ask for a detox drink for cleansing toxins for extremly toxic persons. Lets be candid, we know what were talking about but these are the correct things to ask for. Anyway, there are several kinds but basically you just drink this stuff (it tastes terrible but who cares ) about 1-2 hrs before urine test. Drink 32 oz water. take a good whizz or two then Get er done. It is not that hard to do . Dont be worried. Most drug tests are screens. This should do the trick. I have used this for several drug tests with different employers & passed all tests. None of these hypocrites who piously answered you can show a newspaper article anywhere that pot makes people do anything bad. But there is alot of news about alcohol, and how about all the psych. meds people are on working around us everyday. What a crock of shit. Ok Best of luck to you folks! Later!

I would fast for 30 days, my friend once fasted, drinking only lots water and one diet pepsi/dr.pepper per day, for 20 days and she lost 20 pounds. BTW she did a half hour of moderate/vigorous weight lifting and stuff 3 days a week, and some light yard work but she was lazy for the rest of the time. Warning, you start to feel light-headed and could possibly faint, don't say I didn't tell you so. But keep your friend away from food, of anykind, she'll binge if you let her eat.

Hey there!!\n\nI am a kidney dialysis patient waiting to get on the transplant list. I can hear the desperation in your "voice."  \n\nIn a way she is right, the doctors don't tell us we can't have alcohol.  They don't tell us not to jump off tall buildings, either!!  Most of us know the effects of alcohol and try to avoid it so we can take care of ourselves.  Dialysis clinics preform monthly labs on all of their patients, so odds are the doctors probably knew something about her alcohol use.  Also, I have seen patients that drink so much alcohol that their artificial kidney (in the machine) actually turns yellow.\n\nIt sounds like to me that she's incredibly depressed about something and is using the alcohol for pain control-either physical or mental pain.  Is she hurting physically from the transplant or other physical problem? Now that she has the transplant, is she working?  Does she feel like she has purpose in life beyond the drinking?  Kidney patients can also be alcoholics.\n\nI know it's hard for you to see her like this.  I hope that you will continue to believe in her and stick with her through whatever this is that she's going through.\n\nI am a member of two very good dialysis support groups on YAHOO both of which welcome friends and family members of dialysis patients for questions.  The first one has around 1,000 members.  The second one has about 25 members and has more of a family atmosphere.\nhttp://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/dialysis_support/\nhttp://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/A_dialysis_and_support_group/\n\nPlease feel free to join the groups and ask questins there.  We as a group can give you more information than I as a single person can.  Tell them that CosmicKelly sent ya.\n\nDon't give up,\n\nCosmicKelly :)

What should we do in these circumstances?\n\nIn panic non-believers behave differently than believers. They have no one to return to, to ask for mercy and forgiveness, their life is this life, which they cannot control, thus get more depressed and increase in their state of wrong doing. Then we will see that if they are used to casual drinking will start drinking more and become alcoholic, or a barbital criminal.\n\nOn the other hand a believer should do the following:\na. Increase dhikr (Remembrance of God)\n"who have believed and whose heart have Rest in the remembrance of God. Verify in the remembrance of God, do hearts find rest." Quran 13:28\n\nb. Increase their prayer.\n"O you who believe, seek help with steadfastness and prayer. For God is with those who are steadfast." Quran 2:153\n\nc. Ask forgiveness\n"And I have said: seek forgiveness from your Lord. Lo He was ever forgiving." Quran 71:10\n\nIn addition to above we are also asked to continue to struggle to up-grade ourselves.\n" surely God does not change the condition in which a people are in until they change that which is in themselves." Quran 13:11\n\nIn summary, I conclude that stress results from lack of inner peace due to conflicts within us and leads to external disturbances in our behavior and health. Inner peace can only be achieved by believing in God, the All Mighty, and remembering him frequently and asking for his help and forgiveness in times of difficulties.

5 to 8 days.  You'd actually die of dehydration because the alcohol makes you lose fluids and there's not enough water in the beer to counteract it.

Please remember she is sick, she suffers from a disease in the center of her mind. Drinking is but a symptom of her disease, it is just the tip of the iceburg. There is a imbalance in her. There is hope! Take her to a detox center, let her take a week to get over the effects of th alcohol in her system, she needs to stabalize, then to recognize her condition. If she can understand that she is powerless over alcohol, she can start a life long journey, one day at a time, to permenent sobriety. A A is the only way she is going to learn the tools she needs to do this. You need to get help as well, Alonon is were you need to be, to learn your tools to recovery. A A was wrote by two people in 1939, since then over two million people have recovered thru this program. 120 different self help groups have been formed using A A principles. A A is in over 100 countries, and has published millions of books, they are very cheap to buy. These numbers are growing every day, it must be doing something right. What do you have to lose? Try it. Remember she is sick, and you would not pinch the I.V. line keeping her alive at the hospital, right?

i know this isn't the answer your looking for, but as a friend, I'll give you my take for what ever its worth.i was classified as bipolar ever since i was a kid.doctors have put me on countless meds. throughout my life.meds. have never had any effect on me.before i knew the Lord,i thought of meds. as the answer.now that I'm a believer,i don't take meds. any longer and don't go to therapy.I'm not saying that he should not take any meds but that he must put his trust in the Lord to help him with this.let me put it another way,if you quit drinking by willpower alone you will always have cravings and may go back to drinking.if you ask Jesus to take this addiction away from you,you will not have any cravings and will never need A.A.if you need further proof,go to your local church and ask to speak to believers who quit drinking.i feel you should ask brothers from your church to talk to him and ask the sisters for support.i also don't know why people can't answer your question with respect.\nP.S. i loved your answer you gave to my question,you must be the glue that keeps your relationship together\n                     God Bless

Just be happy that he isn't drinking. Marijuanna isn't all that bad if done in moderation. You shouldn't have much to worry about. Pot smoking is more common that you think.  People just don't talk about it

Well, not eating or drinking is certainly a concern.  You probably won't DIE, at least not in just a few short days.  Think of all of the cultures who fast b/c of religion.  They don't eat for weeks sometimes.\nIf you truly can't manage to eat anything, you need to investigate WHY.  Is it b/c you are under stress?  Feeling ill?  Schedule an appt with a dr., or your local community clinic.\nIn the mean time, force down a supplement, like Boost or Ensure.  They are packed with nutrients, and small.  I went through a period of sadness, and it was the only thing I could get down.  \n\nGood luck.  Feel better.
