I am, thanks MC. The wheels have been set in motion to resolve this situation (finding a new housemate... its going to take two months, though).
But just FYI... His drinking doesnt make me want to drink. Its, frankly, completely repulsive to watch.
I could be headed to the extreme places he is going if I ever picked up again. Right now, he's only a reminder of THAT awful truth. I see nothing fun or charming about drinking with him around me. I only see scary and tragic.
