Alcohol dependency despite the temporary ‘high’, is a depressant and until the user who quite happily drinks themselves into that welcome oblivion, tires of waking up in a pool of their own urine and vomit, never notices fresh buds on a tree and a beautiful sunset, the smile of a pretty lady and the rain on their face, they will continue to drown their sorrows and nothing anybody else says makes a single bit of difference.
Alcoholics don’t require someone else to buy their booze, there are thousands of supermarkets and off licences selling it cheaply who will happily take your cash, no questions asked.
Can you show me where moons name was used? All I see is lots of generalising . Oh and btw, my knowledge of it doesn’t come from tittle tattle.

That is all and I won’t comment again on this subject as it obviously creates unnecessary conflict.

And that would never do would it.
I would happily discuss it, I have plenty to say on this subject and about this particular person. I am choosing not to go there. The thread is about Moon and according to ‘some’ she is apparently housebound and someone else is buying her booze. Like I said I am not interested in JC tittle tattle and gossip. Sorry.
Ahhh I see where I said if she isnt physically capable etc. I didnt mean to imply that she is housebound. I just questioned who was getting her booze. If she is, then perhaps it’s time to stop and get some help, is all I was saying. Unless of course she wants to end up in critical care with liver failure. What is more important, booze or your life/family? Seems like a no brainer to me.
Of course it matters if someone is helping her get the alcohol.
Exactly! It matters a lot! If no one bought her the booze, she wouldn’t be able to drink it would she? 🙄
Oh Jane you’d be amazed at the deviousness of an alcoholic to get there favoured tipple.
The only time an alcoholic will stop is when they hit REAL rock bottom & get the support physically mentally & emotionally. That normally involves a stay in hospital.
Alcoholism is rarely the cause … it’s a symptom & they can recover if the support is there BUT sadly the help is very difficult to find . x

the mother of a friend of mine died of liver failure.
My friend was one of several who begged her mother to take the option of life.
The mother wanted to live, but couldn’t break the habit. Impossible.
The weeks before her death were traumatic for anyone who cared for her.
All you experts waffling on, yet no-one has mentioned the obvious….
Please correct me if I am wrong, as I no expert in this field. But I do know that sudden withdrawal from alcohol kills, and is really not recommended. So it’s all well and good to say stop buying booze for the person, but that could also inadvertently mean killing them (and possibly facing a manslaughter charge). I think it’s mainly only withdrawal from alcohol that kills, not heroin, not crack, not nicotine, not cannabis.
So if one is to take any measures at all to help a loved one who is a desperate alcoholic, starving them of alcohol is the last thing to do, “forcing” professional help with a detox program seems a much better option than just not providing them with alcohol. How bad would you feel if you locked an alcoholic in a room to force them to stop drinking and “save their life” yet you kill them instead ? (and maybe face a manslaughter charge). Lock a heroin addict in a room to force them to stop, they’ll cold turkey, be very sick, but they wont die.
So in a perverse way, one is better to supply alcohol rather than impose withdrawal onto someone.
The symptoms of alcohol withdrawal can be severe; sudden withdrawal can cause brain damage, seizures, heart palpitations, and other effects that can result in hospitalization or death.
