The man reminds me of me at times.
I've been in recovery for a decade or so.
As long as he is communicating with you..it's a good thing.
We alki....live in our heads alot. We think a lot and the wheels
just be spin.
I'm quite most of the time and I do keep alot to myself.
So if I heppened to have a communication episode....it's a good thing.
As long as I don't drink no matter what.
I've lost faith in AA and everything many times..
From my ESH...it's a growing process.
And yes...hell might have to freeze over for me say I'm sorry.
it's not that I don't feel it in my heart....It just feels weird to say the word.lol
And if I'm in a zone....mama raised me right in some...things
If I don't have anything nice to say...I keep my mouth shut.
The issue of anger was confussing for me.
AA is blunt about anger.....NO anger.
So....on gose with old behaviors....I stuff my feelings
And eventually I'm a fire cracker at the very least.
It depend who you run into in AA that might be able to help a person through.
And it's also okay for him to seek outside of AA...AA is not a cure all.
My anger are deep rooted
There's layers and layers of issues I have to deal with or process.
99% of it dosen't have anything to do with current life situation.
Don't babi the man...but also give him some slack.
Don't tell him to work his program
Don't tell him to go to a meeting
Don't tell him to call his sponsor...it'll just add more fuel to te fire.
Don't tell him anything.
keep your boundaries , however
You know...let go and let god.
Basically when he has had enough of his own BS he'll come out of it.
Us Alki....we like to sit in our sheit sometimes....mmm becuase we like it.lol
