Anyways, I'm about to head out. I know I could just make an excuse not to go but I havent seen him in a while and dont feel this issue should stop me from doing so. The plan is to grab a couple smokes (tobacco not weed) and a coffee, everything should be fine. Wish me luck
I think you are right on with your assessment above, Soberish. Know that SR/we are in your hip pocket and we know you can do this relationship with your cousin sober.
