A very good friend of mine is dealing with a shitty legal situation. As a result, he is in the middle of a divorce and has lost his job. To make matters worse, he has a drug and alcohol problem. After taking him to treatment ten months ago, he went through a significant stretch where he was sober. His current depressive state is not helped by his backsliding to alcohol and drugs. I am at a point where I don’t know what to do. I keep having the same conversations with him and he will not do anything different. He was fired from one of his new jobs last night and I am pretty sure he was gunning to get fired. He talks of suicide regularly, at least until he starts drinking and using. I am concerned he will not pull out of this current slide.
Does anyone have experience with this? I am going to be speaking to a doctor today that I have known for 15 years to get a therapist referral from him. That said, I doubt he will go.
I am at my wits end.
