Btw, you're romantizing alcohol.
And btw, I'm not the person who tip toes around the issue. I am direct. Because the direct approach worked for me. That does not mean it doesn't come from a place of compassion and wanting to help though.
But bluhend, get this stupid idea out of your head. It's just a bump in the road of your sobriety. Really, is alcohol really your friend? If so, convince me of it.
