Welcome!!
I know what you mean about them not saying they'll do whatever it takes to get better.
My ABF admits he has a problem with drinking too much (he won't say he's an alcoholic if you paid him to) but insists he has every right to drink.
He says that he works, though he did not in the past, he has a difficult boss to deal with, he can drink in moderation if he feels like it....This is his quacking. He quacks the loudest when he's trying to justify why we chooses to drink over any other priority or why he chooses to treat others poorly when his drinking gets heavy.
The other night, he was telling me all about how he heard on a radio show some criticism of President Obama for being photographed at a sporting event with a beer in his hand. My ABF ranted on about how the President, of all people, had the right to have a beer at a game if he wants to. He has one of the most stressful jobs in the world, he's a grown man, he represent the common man (ABF too, of course), blah, blah, blah.
That's him quacking on a soap box.
Hope to see more of you soon, too.
Peace
Alice
