You are right about NOTHING anyone else can do and sadly the hopelessness that the individual feels often times overcomes them. Addictions come in many forms and some people seem to be more prone than others. The only way out is the desire for the addict to want out - even if it's only a mustard seed amount of desire -sometimes that's all you need for the miracle to begin. Thank God for the wonderful programs out there, free of charge, to support people who want to overcome their addictions. But again, they have to make the effort, no one can do it for them. It's a hard road - both for those afflicted and those who love them.

He certainly tried the programs but never gave them everything in the way of a commitment which does seem to be needed. His organs just could not take any more booze. He did get to the hospital front lawn. NOTHING could stop him from trying to save himself as far as his spirit was involved, but his body could not take any more.
