Hi Rar, yes, that is very insightful about the "catching up". He did that a few weeks ago. He cut way back for three days, then doubled his normal consumption, blaming rough days at work. Also, something just struck me about the conversation yesterday. He said he intended on moderating most days, but gave the caveat of "not being held to it every day". When I asked what I could do to be supportive, he said the best thing would be to forget we had the conversation at all (so he's not judged when he falters). Hmmm, we shall see. Thanks for the point!
