They say it’s a disease , I’ve heard gambling described the same way.
I don’t drink personally, No particular reason other than watching some of my friends in my younger years turn into Ferris Wheel puppets , wasting their money on their cheap addiction, ..basically pissing it all away, life , relationships, kids.
.. but they felt good for it,. A lot of them still do.. just gotta be happy for them.
They refused to change , even when I’ve given a full support network, room, board, food.. extra curicular help.
Theres a time to cut those chords with them and just be happy for them, it’s their journey, and nothing will change it.
some respond well.
May be that’s why I like the hockey player inside Evander Kane,. because he is bigger than all that, and isn’t trying to claim he’s hurt or needs help, he’s doing it and staying focused.. those are the ones you don’t cut chords with.
