Help writing realistic recovery from alcoholism?

So for context, Character A is basically a guardian deity of this small community, he's a big partier and cares deeply for the people he watches over, Character B is a priestess that cares for his shrine and is his lover.

One day, the antagonist of the story sends his minions out to attack the community, they're easily fended off, but one slips a stronger than usual batch of alcohol laced with sleeping solution into A's supply, so when A throws his victory party, he is knocked unconscious and more of the antagonist's forces show up and butcher most of the town while A is out of it. B was out gathering supplies in the nearby forest when this happened, so she comes back to a ruined town, a depressed A, who now has now turned to the bottle to cope with his failure.

I was wondering how to write A's recovery with B and the remainder of the town's support realistically, B loves him and the town obviously doesn't blame him once they discover the cause of A being unconscious during the attack, but A doesn't forgive HIMSELF. It's my first time writing something like this so I want to approach it tactfully and not have A's recovery feel cheap or unearned.

Adventures in caring for an eldritch reality warper

"Mina?" Izuku asked,

"Yes, what's wrong Izuku?" Mina replied, caring for what could only be described as a cthulu-esque entity who was currently sprawled out on the dorm couch, covered in blankets, bowl of chicken noodle soup in hand.

"Who, or dare I ask what, is that?"

"His name is Throgg'mara'sotth, the All Seeing, but he's just Throgg to his friends! He's not used to the bacteria from our dimension and he got the flu, so I'm nursing him back to health! Oh and be careful! Every time he sneezes, reality goes a bit weird in his vicinity! It's harder for him to control when he's sick!"

Just then, Bakugo walked in as the entity sneezed, his head was promptly turned into the head of a mackerel, which began spewing confused, presumably profanity.

"It should be fine in about....a week? Sorry!" Coughed the Lovecraftian monster.

"We're gonna need more soup..." Muttered Izuku.

TLDR: Mina and 1-A care for an ill Lovecraftian monster who warps reality uncontrollably while sick, hijinks ensue.

MHA Vigilantes Pre-orders on Amazon unavailable?

I can access the page showing the Blu Ray I want to buy, but it says the item is unavailable, is it just because it just went live on Crunchyroll for pre-orders and they need to update Amazon's listing still, or is something else going on?

How many necron lords should you focus on upgrading?

I'd been trying to evenly level my lords, but I read that was a bad idea (I had made it to the first set of missions in Act 2, before realizing this) Then I started focusing on Phekon, Amunkah and Obasis only when possible, leaving the other two behind. Is this a better game plan? I read that there just isn't enough upgrade points for all 5 lords.

My Demon Hunting Academia

Long has humanity waged a secret war against the forces of Hell, led by Emperor Xaven, the master of all demons, but now, the time has come for an ancient prophecy to come to pass. The fate of the world will be determined by three women, Mina Ashido, Kyoka Jirou, and Toru Hagakure, these three will, according to the prophecy, either slay Emperor Xaven, or, in a dark, unfathomable alternative, one will betray the others and humanity itself, submitting to the Emperor, to rule by his side as his Empress, seduced by his power and influence.

Our story begins as Xaven begins infiltrating the surface world, his agents disguised as Toru and Mina's latest boy band obsession. Little do any of the girls know, that the trials of a Demon Hunter are about to make themselves known to them. Their soon to be mentor, Majestic, a hero and secret demon hunter, seeks these three women before Xaven's agents locate them.

Mina entered the room where the rest of 1-A was gathered, watching television or doing other day to day activities. A mysterious individual followed her, red, scaly skin with a barbed tail, wings and an exposed skull wreathed in flames.

"Oh hey Mina, how are- HOLY SHIT! IS THAT A VILLAIN BEHIND YOU?!" Screamed Kaminari as he jumped up into the air in shock. In response, the figure simply shook his head and gestured for Mina to explain.

"No, he's not a villain, he's my boyfriend! My family has a demon in our family tree going way back! It's why I have these horns! I was able to meet him because my family can access the underworld through a portal we can all create! His name is Mukuro, he's not evil at all! In fact, he's a massive sweetheart! I wanted to introduce you guys to him but I never found the right moment!"

Mukuro smiled, an... unsettling sight, given the exposed skull, but in a deep voice finally spoke "It is a pleasure to meet you all, friends of Mina. I promise I will take good care of her."
