Thank you for many posting! I really appreciate that you all took time to think about my question.

The cure of alcoholism by Nat-m is remarkable. In the case of my friend, I tend to believe that the cause is rather psychological. He says that he drinks because he wants to sleep well. But his girlfriend said that he sleeps well even without alcohol. And concerning hypoglycaemia, the actual problem is: because he is too lazy to make his food, he eats little and drinks. So, I think what drives him to drink is rather psychological problem.

He often says, "Ah, I should not live all my life in such a way. I must do something..." a kind of midlife crisis. While his colleagues in Japan are beginning to have their success in business, he is still a moderate employee. In the evening, while his Japanese colleagues are in business meeting or in dinner with their family, he is alone and has nothing special to do... He says that because he has no other thing to do, he drinks. In reality, it's to forget the disappointment in his life. Sulphur is acting favourably on his emotional plane. But he still keeps drinking. I wonder: Would another remedy have acted more closely, or simply will it take more time?
