I am very sorry for your loss. I've been on both sides of this - I've been addicted, I also lost someone close to me 3 years ago from addiction. Since then there have been a lot of 'what ifs?' You're right though - they have to want to help themselves. I know that, but it still took several months of counselling to really start getting to terms with it.
A lot of us think 'just one more time', you never know when it could be the last, you spend so long poisoning yourself, it's easy to misjudge your own tolerance. Don't mess around, get to a doctor - they've seen and dealt with everything you can think of, they're there to help.

I'm gonna follow sugarbears example and post so this gets bumped back up.
I think of you often and want people like me to see this. I now think of your post when drinking starts singing it's song.
Thank you, prayers

Sad end.
Scattered vodka bottles does not a detox make, and it's hard for some to believe that just the same old drinking, nothing different will do us in, as it does. He refused to get any help, sure he'd handle it fine. No help required because he was capable and could beat this thing.
Just a matter of making a firm and ironclad decision and sticking to that. My guess is he had some months at least once, perhaps a few years.
I'd be curious to know what his handle was here, as reading his posts might be instructive and hold some worthwhile lessons.
