What would you have done?

Alcohol is a wonderful friend and a terrible master.

I lost my phone and sprained my ankle last night. I drank around a liter of crown royal...so i hear.

Just quit chewing tobacco. alcohol prob has to go too. I cant just have a little. I always drink till its gone. I'm not a big me fan at the moment


glad things are going well again for you B5150.



I probably wouldnt have done anything that night. When people are drunk its a bad time to lecture.
 
I left my cousin a message this evening letting him know where I was going to be if he wanted to talk.

He was in a hurry, but we are cool now. He apologized to me and said that he wants to apologize in person to my wife. He also added that he didn't like the way I went about it and my retort was that anybody else would have caught some knuckles between their teeth. I wanted to be clear that I did what I needed to do, despite not liking to have to do it.

He grinned awkwardly, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Yeah, I know."

He was running off to a date, so I didn't have a chance to really talk to him. We more or less reassured each other that we were still cool and that there is no hatred between the two of us...
 
Recovering alchey here as well.........10 years Oct. 1st.

All i can say from what i have read.

Depending on his body language, voice tone and eye contact. I dont know how sincere his apology was.

If it is sincere. I think you, your wife and him will be alright.

If not, he has no respect for you or your wife and it will happen again.

Time will tell.

Good luck stxnas. IMO, you are totally justified and warrant no apologies........

PS. If any similiar behavior happens again. You will have to demand your respect with a fist.

And/Or mark him off the friends list.........:(

Once again, good luck man.

I am a recovering alcohol. The last time my brother and I had a fight he knocked me out. It breaks my heart still to this day to know that I hurt my little brother so much that he had no choice but to knock out his big brother.

My family stood by for years as my alcoholic behavior hurt me and others.

My brother and I have long since made amends yet I am still ashamed at the fact that I hurt him so bad that he would have to hurt me the way he did. I keep that memory close to my heart to keep me in check.

Your cousin is an alcoholic and your wife is not his first or last victim of various forms of alcoholic offenses. Have him seek some help for his drinking. I only wish someone would have intervened in my situation before the LE did.

Bryan where are you, come back :whiner:
 
I'm still here. Been sick. Literally. Actually quite sick for about 6 weeks or so.

Acute bacterial prostatitis. Not fun.

Levaquin for 4 weeks was what felt like a near death experience. Google - "Levaquin sides effects", "Levaquin tendonitis" or "Levaquin body aches" to give you an idea of what it was like.

I had to endure nearly three weeks of this (antibiotics) before I could get my PSA. Suffice is to say that I was a bit overwhelmed with anxiety at the extreme until I received my healthy PSA test results. Unfortunately the misery of Levaquin was to go on for another week.

I'm a week post medication and just starting to feel a glimmer of my old self.

The way I felt emotionally and physically put me in a place of re-prioritizing my time investment...the days I had left to live ;)

I'm joking ONLY in hind site.

I'll be around, just not as active, as I am still trying to recover from the emotional and spiritual exhaustion the experience has put me through.

Our days are short even if we have many. Cherish every moment like it is your last.
