Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Sounds like he’s pretty deep into addiction. He might be someone that could benefit from something like a disulfiram implant. Anytime you drink you get physically sick and risk a trip to the ER to get your stomach pumped.
When I was struggling with alcoholism, I hit a low point and ended up having to move back in with my parents. They made me start taking that, "antabuse" stuff. It, uh, didn't work. I'd continue drinking with it, and the only thing that would happen is I would break out in giant red splotches. Never got sick from it. Didn't do a damn thing.
What DID help, was living in a safe space with my wife, far away, with access to weed. Living in that supportive helpful environment was the trick that finally lead me to realize "ya know, if ever there was a future where I lost all of this great stuff I have going for me, surely it would be the future where I keep drinking." For some reason getting high always helps me put things in perspective and process trauma, and dang if it didn't end up working that day. I went from drinking a bottle of bourbon a day, to nothing. Sober now almost 7 years. I owe it all to my (now ex)wife and my ability to use weed without police fucking me over for it.
I’m just some random on the internet, but I’m proud you kicked the habit! well done!
