That is not true. He already has consequences he's facing. He's struggling daily with a terrible terrible disease that consumes his entire life. I would not want that. Even if it seems like he's gliding through life unscathed, he really isn't. He has a disease. And he might be healthy today, but this disease is slow but thorough. It will eat him alive if he doesn't stop. He won't always be so lucky and healthy. Everyone pays the piper one day from their past actions. And for him realizing that he lost his family because of his drinking, he will only realize it when he is deep in recovery. And for so many addicts, they just never reach that point where they see the light because they are so consumed with their next drink. Hang in there!
