Thanks, I tried to explain twice nicely where I was coming from. I did not ask for an explanation, nor did I say you were taking advantage. I apologise, sincerely that you reacted badly to what I said.
My understanding (and again I could be misinterpreting)...was you said you'd slipped 12 times since January when he assisted you with employment. I think he's an angel and merely was saying and encouraging you to identify what might be your triggers whilst you still have a job and a generous friend.
The title of your thread is alcohol withdrawal and working...so I assumed avoiding withdrawal was the aim. Hence why I asked what you were doing to address the slips, so I could suggest some options.
It's nice when we get forgiveness, no doubt. It's also good to address why we keep choosing alcohol to deal with issues.
