You have a choice. Live with it or don't live with it. Every morning when you wake up, ask yourself the question, "Do I want to live with this today?"
Yep, that's totally us. He says he doesn't have a problem like all the others in his meetings. He can stop. He says. He says he just wants to drink sometimes. I know it will snowball from there.
