How do you help someone who has been suffering with depression and alcohol abuse?
Make sure to take care of yourself first, a wise person once told me “you can’t be there for someone else if you’re a mess due to not taking care of yourself”. A lot of people that deal with depression are smart and sweet, but with a tendency to overlook their own needs so pay attention to that. Secondly, he is gonna need some professional help cause you can not do this alone. You can help remind him of his appointments and motivate him to stay sober but that’s really all you can do, being so close to him and loving him so much.
