Our neighbour lost his wife 18 months ago and has gone downhill and has been drinking heavily and smoking dope ever since. We have been very concerned about him and have seen him in some very waisted states. He came to us yesterday shaking and asking is he could borrow our phone to call his mum. He had collapsed at work and had been taken to hospital. He was in such a state that we called the ambulance and got him back to hospital. He realised he has a problem and has been drinking vodka very heavily for quite some time now. He said he wanted to die and tried to so by drinking himself to death. We want to help him but don't know what we can do to ease the withdrawals that he going to experience. He house is a mess and we were planning on going there today to see if we could help clean it up for him. We don't know if he had any drink last night. Is it wise to try and help? He is seeing a phyc nurse on Monday.
