Hi Rocky. Reading what's written until now makes me start thinking what's the reason for people to start drinking AND what's the reason for their behavior. A friend of mine has an education and a job where he meets a lot of people with problems including alcoholics and former alcoholics. He tells that years of alcohol and drug abuse destroys part of the brain and also destroys some social skills. Besides that I wonder if quite some alcoholics suffer from low self-esteem and alike. So they need to feel accepted; a part of the social community - to feel they get heard. So talking loud for being heard, and saying something whenever they get a chance. I've learned it's easier to make lasting waves with the waves than against the waves. If you make splashes against the stream they won't last long. But with the stream they become waves of the waves. Going against the stream of words will only make that person make more noise. And grab evenmore opportunities for saying something and to seek confirmation of being a part of the social community. Give him a feeling of being seen and accepted. Loved. That doesn't mean he is to behave as usual. But it means you give him your attention and respect in a good and positive way. Maybe this is your way of being a part of mission. Gods mission. The outreach. And it's always easier to accept guidance and to be told we do wrong by the ones who loves us and care for us, than from strangers.

Now it's not a question of talking about your former addiction nor his. I wrote you a point of view and some experience of mine. For you to take and use or leave behind. You are the one to take your decisions in your life. Not others. Not I. And you are also the one to take responsibility of the outcome of those decisions. If you fail you failed. If you succeed you succeed. Adam blamed Eve - and God - for his decision of eating the fruit. His own choice. Even if we listen to the advice of others and follow that advice we are still the ones who chose to follow that advice. So we are the only ones we can blame. It's the Gospel all over again.
