Well I'm sure no one is surprised that I'm reporting back that he's drinking again. Was drunk last night when I went to his place. When he wouldn't talk about it I left and went back home.
Talked to him again this morning around 9:30. Still sounded a little drunk to me. I am supposed to go over at noon, which means he has 2.5 hours to sober up, or get more drunk. Let's see which one he chooses. Past practice says the latter. I may be back home by 12:30.
Myself, I am on my 28th day without a drink. Will not my disappointment with his situation impact my own decision to better my own life. It's just sad because he was doing really well until this week.
