I have a friend who suffers from alcoholism. It seems like a really rough disease.
Are they just dependent on alcohol or do they abuse it?
She's totally dependent on it. She asked me to help her find resources, but I don't know where to start. Do you have any information that could help her?
Just tell her that she can end up damaging her brain or liver.
Wow. I knew alcoholism could hurt your liver, but I didn't know it could affect your brain too!
Yes, it can cause a number of diseases like cirrhosis of the liver. She needs to be really careful.
I hope she can get help. Are there any support groups who help people recover from alcoholism?
The Nova Scotia Department of Health Promotion can help her achieve a healthy lifestyle. She should check it out!
