If you just want it to work, and you're coming from Windows or Mac, use Ubuntu. It's a nice intro, and the hardware support is excellent.
Many of the programs recommend therapy first. No one wants to drink themselves to death, even though it feels like that sometimes.
The guilt and shame is brutal, and shouldn't be used to try to change someone into behaving better. It's like spanking you kids, which is illegal now (at least whew I'm at).
Same, but the community was great. Being around people that understand is so beneficial.

I suggest that you go to AlAnon and learn a bit about alcoholism before trying anything (btw, AlAnon is not AA, but is a program to help non-alcoholics understand what they're dealing with.)

LOL! Well, I guess they're actively looking to get killed. What, you think we'll turn a blind eye to this shit, you hitler-esuqe dirtbags?
