Hello, I feel your pain. My close one was going through this as well but things are good now. Try to find him an appointment with a specialist. There is also some medication for helping people fight an alcohol addiction - it doesn't cure the reason but helps break the habit. Most of all, be there for him and let him know there's so many reasons he needs to stop doing this and enjoy the beauty of this life. Really make sure he knows that if all goes bad, you'll always be there for him. Take care and I hope all will be well...

Hello, could you please elaborate a bit on the meditation technique? What exactly do you do? Thank you so much for answering. I've been trying to learn TM but all the courses cost a fortune..

I'm getting interested in meditation too and I'm starting with this:

Hello, thank you for sharing this!

Better late than never.

The course I used was this one:

I'm sure there are many like it, but this one was well done and taught me the basics of this type of meditation.

I don't remember the name of the course but will respond when I get home tonight. Message me if I forget.
