Finally, they have progress. Amelia's body relaxes the smallest amount as Thor takes his first step forward.
"In some way or another. You could donate it to Asvera or sell it back to Loki as you please. You could even take it outside and dump it, if it wouldn't be too much to ask of yourself." Getting it out of the house, at the very least, is a good first step that will allow them to take other steps. It won't remove the temptation entirely, but it will make it easier to deal with it when the need can't be fulfilled so easily. With Loki no longer selling to Thor, it'll be much harder for her friend to simply replace what he gets rid of today. Hopefully.
"After that, you'll need to make adjustments to your routine. Finding ways to stave off the desire for alcohol will take time, but finding ways to use your time that feel fulfilling should help." Here she pauses and openly sighs a little, her expression a little regretful. "I'm not sure what would be most useful to you in that regard. You'll have to decide for yourself what is best. It'll take time and patience, both of which I'm offering freely, should you decide you want them."
It's not much and it's far from everything she wishes she could offer Thor, but it's still something. This is a completely new situation for her and she knows she'll stumble a little as she helps her friend. But if he makes it to the other side of all this, that's all she particularly cares about.
