Aw, someone gets a COOKIE!!!
I wish I had someone to text who would feel as rotten as I do when I do something stupid and have to deal with it.
For example, I'm on an crazy tight budget and I made the mistake last month of putting the wrong bag in the freezer and ruined half my perishable items. UGH! I wonder how much better I would have felt if I had been able to text somebody every time I had half a meal or heard my tummy rumble for two weeks until I got paid again. Would it have made a difference if someone else felt like cr@p because of my mistake? I doubt it.
As I've learned here, how can you learn if you don't receive the lesson? The lesson I learned was to mind what I do when sorting groceries if I don't want go hungry.
If he's lucky, he'll learn that alcoholism for him means sleeping in his car. Sleeping in car=yucky=alcholism=yuckier.
He's made his bed (or his car as it were), let him lie in it.
You're doing just fine
