The greenbriar primitive, the 8th-grade social studies teacher from in or near Wichita; please notice this bonfire was started ten months ago, but it's still going:

3. If your life is hell for speaking of your concerns and your fears, I believe you have a problem too.

All the suggestions given in the Lounge thread were good advice.

In AA, we are not so inclined to give advice. We are recovering drunks.

So we share our experience, strength and hope with each other in order to find our way out of our addiction with the help of the steps.

I suggest you try Al Anon and find a good person there to be your sponsor.

A sponsor is just a friend who has been where you are and found some sanity and peace. Please try it.

It sounds like you need a friend. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

5. I saw your lounge thread

If he is that abusive perhaps there needs to be a police intervention. They may be able to get him into recovery.

Failing that, is there anybody he trusts who could talk to him about his drinking?

Okay, that was then; this is now:

Now that he's sober, how long do you think he'll hang around?

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

They belong to one of those megachurches.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course, but it is unusual.

He will start drinking like a fish on Saturday when it sinks in who he is with on Valentines day.

That pastor must regret giving out his number.  She calls him for everything.  Like yesterday when she need consoling about the beaten child.  :whatever:

I still say if that were true she would have posted it in the Lounge for maximum props.

I can't wait to see the cruise pictures of her non drinking husband.

Well, if her husband truly has a drinking problem, then kudos for kicking it!  But I tend to think this is just more made up crap from Greenbriar.
