This is my approach, DayTrader. Meet him on Friday, and if he shows up on Saturday, we start in the Dr.'s Opinion and find out about his experience, sharing some of my own where it applies to what we're reading.

I have to remember that I'm limited to "When we see a man sinking into the mire that is alcoholism, we give him first aid and place what we have at his disposal." And that's all I can do, place what I have at his disposal. If I do more than that, I'm sideways.

Here's the problem, the physical craving and the mental obsession. Here is my only hope of not repeating this over and over. Here is what I did.

And take him through the Steps if he'll have it.
