Sorry for bringing this back to the top; however it looks like my co-workers working days are coming to an end after all.
Two days off again this week (apparently his teenage son broke his nose in a playfight) doesn't matter whether it's true or not.
He called four times and every time I couldn't understand him, he was so drunk. 8 am, 2 pm didn't make any difference and then he left a voice mail with my boss and was just as drunk.
Anyway I just wanted to know what help I should offer if he asks. I don't go to AA, but I would like to be able to point him in the right direction. Literature, downloads, phone numbers etc. Thanks.
