I have an old friend that still drinks and texts. I still talk to him. I don't judge him or try to get him to stop drinking. I tried. Others tried. His sister did an intervention and sent him to treatment. He has had a stroke. He still drinks and smokes. I just accept him as he is. So when he texts I sometimes respond and sometimes don't. But I have known him since college, and he is a good person. He just has an alcohol problem, and he will have to be the one to solve it.
