6 weeks of NC and then a letter

It's been 6 weeks. He sent me a letter in the mail (I have him blocked on the phone and email). The letter is short.

The letter says he misses me, says he's "doing better", he "hopes we can talk someday" soon, and he hopes I'm not sad anymore.

The letter doesn't say if he's sober or how long he's been sober.

The ambiguity annoys me. It irritates me that he would send me that crappy letter when I know he's still drinking. He must know that because he said nothing about sobriety, that I would know he's still drinking. It's insulting. I want to write back to him to tell him something. Something that will make him leave me alone. That's the problem though:

There's nothing you can SAY to an alcoholic that will fix anything, solve anything, or help anything. It's all about doing. So I guess in this case, what I need to DO is nothing.

Just checking in!
