Volunteered to help support someone at a meeting i attended. Just asking for a bit of advice please.

[Etymolog]

Hi

I’ve decided to support someone at my meeting “mentor “ as I feel strong enough to do so now.

He has chirrosis and is seeking help with the desire to stop drinking eventually. I wondered if there’s anything he can do to improve his health regarding diet etc whilst although cutting down still consuming alcohol.

I appreciate nobody is medically trained and was just looking for some sort advice to pass on in anyway. He unfortunately has to still have drink to wean him off of it at the moment. I’m just wondering if he can help himself additionally regarding anything else - he is under lots of support groups and I’ve told him to join here too.

He is currently waiting for his next consultation with his doctor currently 5 months away .

Thank you
