It would NEVER in a MILLION YEARS occur to me to check something like that! I am not anywhere in his league when it comes to being sneaky, not a chance in hell
Honeypig, this made me laugh...what is amazing it the lengths they go to in order to protect their facade, all the while NO ONE ELSE IS PAYING ATTENTION! I mean, who has time to check receipts for the time stamp to verify if it occurred before, during, or after they were supposed to be at an AA meeting? Wow. I am impressed at the lengths he went to, for no reason whatsoever! And I agree with you - my brain doesn't work this way, either.

Also, remember...doing nothing is also doing something. You can do nothing while you wait for more to be revealed.

When in doubt - wait. Best advice I've gotten from others here.

Take good care,
