Thank you, dandylion, for your honesty.
Funny isn't it, how my sharing the contingency plan with him undoubtedly triggered those uncomfortable life emotions that he doesn't know how to handle without alcohol.
So now, as I've heard around the forum many times before.......
"More will be revealed."
He will either begin to learn how to handle these uncomfortable emotions and reach out to his group and sponsor, OR....I'll end up using the plan.
At least I know what I will do. That's all I can do.
Thanks, everyone.
