Reviving this thread.


Recently, I've been asked by some friends how they could handle the problems of one of their friends: he's drinking 'Wild Turkey' already in the morning, out of the bottle ... "but he's sooooo nice, and he has sooooo many problems" ....

Problems can swim in alcohol, I told them. It's an excellent breeding ground for new problems.
Besides that, I've said, they can't do nothing, he must change - and have the will to do it.

Hoping, you're all doing well!

Hey Walter, SO glad ya made it back safely...

Please enjoy the comforts of home, while you absorb the aftereffects of your journey.

Your admirer,

RH

Thanks, Rockhead. But there weren't any 'aftereffects' ... besides a little bit of jetlag - and a lot of work, which piled up :wink:

Be wary, sometimes they sneak up on you, old man...

Your good friend,

RH

Good to see this thread active again.

Walter, if you didn't get your friend drunk, you cannot get him sober. Your remark about alcohol being a great breeding ground for problems is spot on. I don't recall that I ever made a single problem go away by drinking because of it. If a person can sober up first, he/she usually discovers that every problem has a solution. But solutions are hard to come by if your brain has been at least partially disabled by a substance which is otherwise quite useful as an antisceptic and germicide.

Sorry I missed the Albequerque get-together. Too many other things keeping me on the East Coast for now. cheers!

Are you drinking, Merry?

And, Merry, might I add how lucky you are to have urs?

She is a hell of a woman.

If only....

Watch it P.L.

Oh, and welcome to Friends of Bill W. Gus, I know you have finally found your rightful niche.

ski for me, baby.

Right or left leg? I can tell all ready this is going to be a fun Saturday afternoon.

I haven't read the entire thread, but who is Bill Wilson?

Trolls?

Has our friendship diminished so, sglass, that you have been reduced to calling me a troll?

Plunge your epee into my heart, cruel sister.

Bill Wilson founded Alcoholics Anonymous along with Dr Bob Smith.

Bill Wilson is sglass's brother-in-law who is undergoing chemotherapy and this thread is to wish him well and also a place to offer cash donations.

My twenty bucks is on the way, sglass.

Tell Bill to hang in there.

Oh! Thank you for the info.

ane, he is the big daddy and founder of AA.

Thanks to his courage, insight and Dr. Carl Yung millions of hopeless alcholics have sober, meaningful lives today.
