Thank you Dartnut, He seemed to be doing a little better, but he is a smart fellow that can hide his felling's
Thank you 65Vart, I am glad he got out and put some food in his belly this morning :cheers:
He would do it for me if something like this was to ever happen to any of his family or friends, Thank you for your prayers Valiantdogs
The same way you do brother, He should be on his way home from AA for an hour or so nap Pete :thumblef:
Thank you dart1, Thank you so much.
As soon as I seen him he ask how do I look ?? with a laugh !
He said that it sunk in when I said that I get up and groom myself first thing and it helps me start my day, he enjoyed a small breakfast biscuits and gravy with a side order of linked sausage and a pepsi.
Know I am a bit tired and could use a power nap, I play APA 8 ball tonight and another friend said he would go see him and take him out for food tonight and make sure he is eating :thumblef:
Thank all of you for the prayers and well wishes for my great ol friend :cheers:
Nap time for memike or :coffee2:, But I bet it will be a nap :thumblef:
memike you are a good friend. More prayers coming.

Mike your friend is lucky to have you! I am glad you are caring enough to have found your friend and made sure he is allright.
Alcohol can be a real problem for many.It is a depressant,so I dont touch it. Have enough issues around depression already
Hopefully your friend can find his way out.With your help he just might be O.K!

Just keep your eyes on your friend. I've seen guys give or sell everything they own. I friend of mine did that. I took everything he gave me and put it away. I knew he wasn't in a good state of mind. I went to house one day to see his 25' camper being pulled off. He had sold it for $2000. He gave nearly $40,000 for it a couple years before and was only used a couple of times. He said he and his wife had had sex in there and he couldn't keep it. When he finally got off the Prozac and realized what he had done, it was to late. I gave him everything he gave me back, but he had lost a lot.

Your a good man Mike..everyone needs a friend like you!
Alcohol does strange things to people. I had a guy working for me that was given an ultimatum by his wife back in the 70's, she wanted him to back off the drinking or she was going to take the kids and leave. He chose the beer over his wife and 2 kids. It wasn't until recently he supposedly quit drinking to to health issues.
Stay with it Mike, people can change there ways with support. You're a good man for being there for him.

prayers sent some more mike keep us posted bud
Glad you found him and took care of him. I was worried that he may have done something bad to himself. Keep taking him out and feeding him and keep his mind busy on positive things. It's times like these where guys like him need a good friend like you to get them through the rough times.
Keep it up Mike.
Keep it up Mike.
Thank you Cliff

This is great news Mike. There's so many people who've tried to help those with serious drug/alcohol problems and they just get hurt in the process. I'm so glad that this seemed to have worked out.

One of my friends from high school had similar problems and punched his ticket Sunday. No one realized how severely he was depressed. He had a loving wife and kids and grandchildren. He posted a few scriptures on facebook on Friday and made a comment about taking a dip in the river to start his day over. I see now that it was a metaphor. I miss you Teddy.

You might already know my story but I'm a recovering alcoholic myself. Been sober for 10yrs now.
Mike I know EXACTLY how your friend feels, I know the thoughts that goes through his mind. I know the fear he is or was going through. Some might think it is easy to get off the drink or drugs but it is far from a walk in the park. I have been in and out of AA in the past but the last time I went something stuck. I hope your friend gets it the first time.

I wish your friend all the luck.My uncle was a bad alcoholic for 25 years.One day he quit drinking,no rehab or nothing just quit.I asked him what finally made him quit?I asked him did the Doctors tell you,you would die if you did't quit?He said no they told me 15 years ago to quit or I would die.He finally told me he was drinking and driving and that he had ran someone off the road.He said that scared me enough to quit.
Here He is helping me with my Formula.He has been sober 8 years or so.Now he is much thinner and feels better than when he drank.
