EndGame - no we never discussed it. I thought he was alcoholic also. Turns out he can take it or leave it. Last night was the first time I mentioned it. He blew me away.
Alpha - I do not know. No particular reason. No trigger, no horrific event, no happy occasion.
Imperfect - yes I understand your post completely
Banquo - no. Not at this time.
Seriously the man deserves better of me. I never thought about this subject in this way. Even reading all the posts about sober people suffering alongside with the addict didn't do it. Until last night, that comment turned my head around.
