Thanks for your share Bubba,
If you take that first drink, you will be back where you left off.
You are dealing with an *******. All assholes are insecure. They expect you to treat them like they are an *******. Do not ever treat them with kindness. Do not ever reward them. Do not ever get personel with them. You can tell who is an *******, watch their behavior. They are into gossip, and public humiliation.
Do not drink, one day at a time.
Best regards, Dan.
