One of the hardest parts of this is that he has to cut his mates off, and with him being only 27, is hard i guess.
Does his mate sell it? U dont have to answer that. But thats a big problem. They just give it and run up a tab.
I dont get why he just dont go straight home after work, or even the gym.
He must be feeling shit all the time from the come
But your right its everywhere now. Every pub, every town, most work places.
Your doing good anyway, and you are right about the pressure and mithering him as he will just use this as an excuse.
Good luck anyway. Just ask if u need any help.
