Murchovski, I am new to Buddhism and i'm not doing a good job of following the Buddhas teachings right now. I'm not officially a Buddhist but I have read all of the posts on this thread and I think you have gotten some good advice. I personally have struggled with addiction and I can honestly say that it really depends on the person as to whether or not they are going to recover. Some people don't hit "rock bottom" until they die. I think that has been mentioned before but it is true. I know that it took me a long time of pain and reflection before I stopped thinking about getting drunk to drown out the pain. I don't know if my post helped in any way. I do hope however that everything works out well for you and the troubled person that you know.
