Laurie - You are exactly right.
The problem I see with him making amends is: He has lived his entire life, of blowing things/feelings off. (Learned childhood behavior)
Like for instance: In the middle of a deep relationship conversation. He will interupt with
"Hey, do you know if that store sell's oil?" - ---And I'm like.. "WTH"?? lol
He has alway's avoided thing's (all serious relationship/friendship problems/talks) - He was good at it when he was drunk, that's all....
- So for him to make amend's, it will take God to do that, because it is truely against his nature..
His amend's to me, his parent's was: Im sorry, not let's get this party started!
The kid's amend's - Wow! I will not hold my breath, that's for sure!
(His sponsor & 6 night's of AA) - From the question's I asked him. It sounded
more like "Sober Happy Social Hour". Where they understand him, and accept him
for who he is, and the people are really nice there. They joke alot!
And- his sponsor's name, happens to be the same name as his employer
You know what I'm thinking, right!?!?
And those word's are alway's there - Cunning & Baffling
I admire you for making amend's - That is priceless!!!!!!!
