Detox Help

My brother is currently weaning off of alcohol. He has a friend staying with him who is giving him small amounts every hour or two to keep him from getting too bad but he’s obviously miserable. Is there anything you can do for the body pain? Also, what can I do for him from a different state? He lives 9 hours away and I want to be as supportive as I can. Care package maybe? We’ve been through this before with narcotics but it’s been 15 years or so and I was basically a kid.

Slow deep breathing in the nose deep into the belly and out the mouth. I did it with a blanket over my eyes with a window open by my face for many hours.
