There could be a whole lot of things here. The shaking and diarrhea are especially troubling. If this happens a lot, you could have some liver damage. Go to the doctor and get some blood tests, etc.. Get a check up and talk to him about your ailments. If you are drinking too much, at least admit it to yourself, and get some help - that is 99% of the battle. Sounds to me like you have a good friend here, so don't blow one of your few "second" chances here by not listening. A true friend helps even when it isn't pleasant to do so, so count her a good friend and let her help you out of these problems. You have to be the one to Respond to treatment and Accept the help, and then DO something. You are not acting normally, so get with the recovery already.

In my experience alcohol can definitely assist people in doing things they wouldn't normally do without alcohol in their system.  I don't think you would do anything stupid because of the fact that you are aware of this fear you have of acting innapropriate.  It's the chance we all take when hanging out with friends who are drinking, that they may do something they wouldn't normally do.  If she is a true friend she will laught with you and tell you to stop your just being drunk.  If your obnoxious when you get drunk however she may not want to hang out with you anymore.  Maybe you should just be honest with her and get it out in the open so that you both may enjoy the evening and you already know how she would react.  She may surprise you and tell you that she would be delighted to make out with you.  '-)

You can advise her but you can't make her take action.\n\nIt hurts to see friends involved in self-destructive, negative behavior but we cannot make anyone else do anything. Let her know what you think. Encourage her to aim higher. Don't enable her but don't dump her. Continue to be a friend. She will eventually need you if she stays with this loser.\n\nAnd to one of the previous answers, it is still cheating if you are drunk. Intoxication excuses you from nothing. If you kill someone while drunk driving it is still murder or manslaughter. If you cheat while you are drunk you are still a cheater. Don't make excuses for your crappy behavior.

You don't. From what little you have said you have an ALcoholic for a mate. You CANNOT help him unless he wants help. But there are organizations you can call for help, like al-anon. As for him, he must be willing to step up to the plate and take responsibilities for his actions. This will be a starting point. It will take time. But unless and this is unless he is willing to step up to the plate there isn't one thing you will be able to do to help him.

Get a complete physical evaluation and see a professional for alcohol abuse. There is no "ONE" answer to this. Different people need different treatment. Some need medication, some need other things. Some need both. Don't go by what works for someone else when you need to have yourself evaluated. Hang in there!

She is a liar.  She did have sex with her ex, and may be telling you because she is pregnant.  If she drank so much that she passed out, it would be rape.  Women know when they've had sex without needing a phone call the next day to remind them.  It has a physical effect on their bodies that they'd notice.  Confront her

Let me start by saying I am truly sorry about your loss. I have never gone through anything that horrible, and I don't know how you can even talk about it this openly. It takes true courage to come out and ask for help. Hopefully you will find it. This is my advice, don't think about it as your fault. If you sent her a letter that said how much you loved her, then clearly she didn't do what she did because of something hateful that you said, because by no means is that at all hateful. If she was an alcoholic and a drug abuser, then that is probably the reason. She might have been drunk, she might have been high, you can never really know for sure, but I know for a fact that she did NOT commit suicide because of you! Now, all you can do is remember all of the good times that you had with her, and forget the bad things. Ask her for your forgiveness. Yes, I know that she's not here anymore, but she will always be with you. So talk to her and make sure that she knows that you love her and miss her with all of your heart. And again, I am deeply sorry for your loss, you have my most deepest sympathy.

Support your friend.  The next few months are going to be hard, but if you really do care, stand by your buddy.  Let him know that you are prepared to help, but he needs to be serious about his sobriety, and if he's not, you can't do anything for him.  Lay down a clear cut set of rules and guidelines to help him.  Good luck.  Hope that helps.

Well drinking yourself to oblivion and hiding that from your loved ones sounds like alcoholism to me.\nTheres only one person who can change him and thats himself - as much as you or other people tell him to change he is the only one who can make that decision.\nI would end the relationship (because of his drinking) but say you will support him in getting help and remain friends etc.\nIf/when he gets himself off the booze you can always get back together again if you want to.

your her friend and this is going to be tough but don't try to help her pass her drug tests by giving your sample of pee  Drug addicts are very manipulative people.Set some guide lines sit her down and tell her you will not lie for her and tell her not to treat you like a idiot by lying to you. Tell her you are only too happy to support her to help kick the habit. As for the baby i really feel sorry for the child especially when there are so many people who are childless out there and would love a child. Maybe it would be better to have the child placed in care until she gets her act together and cleans up. I know this sounds like tough love but you have to be for her sake

you can only try so much before you gotta say to yourself this is her problem(s).  it is hard to see a friend get involved with that kind of shtuff.  it's hard to watch a friend open herself up to even greater potential problems especially under the influence of pot or booze.  gotta pay for it somehow.  it does affect the way you make decisions.  and guys dont really think straight when there is a drunk/high chick passed out somewhere.  try to get her straight before some bad shIt can happen.

A recorded admission from them would help as evidence whether they tell you or someone else.  Drunk people talk too much.  Maybe you could follow them to a bar.  Also, $70,00 is a lot.  An IRS audit might do them in as they would have to explain purchases.

I know exactly what you are talking about. Let me explain. You cannot make him stop drinking. I think you know this. He is going to die of liver disease if he doesn't. That is his choice to make of course, but just enforce the fact that he is destroying his life and make sure he knows if and when he does want to change that you will be there for him regardless, but since he is not going to stop killing himself that you don't want to be around to see it. Tell him it hurts you to see him do this to himself. MAYBE he will let it sink into his brain and realize this is the wrong path to happiness. Good luck!

This friend of yours is not a good person. She is definitely simply leeching out favours from others. Just leave her, don't talk to her. She'll definitely come back for more assurance. I think she needs some counseling.

What kind of sick question is THAT? Where are you coming from? You need help. Drinking isn't the answer, obviously, getting some kind of professional or spiritual help, is. You would be lucky if someone doesn't report this question as "abuse" here on Yahoo, for inciting violence and hatred toward women. You have issues and you need to deal with them in a "nonviolent way", or you're going to end up in prison, or worse.
