Anyway, it is not endearing to me when I hear about lost weekends and ridiculous shenanigans nor is it funny. Now it is just sad and pathetic. I find myself very judgemental and annoyed.
IWillWin,
Yes, I get angry over it. It makes me not respect him that he doesn't even SEE that he has a problem. He doesn't even care.
Again, I wonder - why does it bother you that this guy drinks? People in the thread are making guesses, but only you can really answer that question.
Notmyrealname,
I resent it because he is the only friend I have in this tiny town. I guess that is why. Not that I can do anything about it. Just trying to change someone who doesn't want to change I guess.
I came to the conclusion I will TRY to continue with the vegetable garden. If it doesn't work, oh well. He also posts "funny" stuff about drinking on Facebook. I read one more post from him about drinking and I am going to take him off my Facebook feed. I plan on telling him all of this as well.
Thanks for the advice guys. (and gals).
