Hi jewl,
I agree with phoenix. You asked if what you did was stupid. In a word....Yup!
There's an old saying in the program. Keep going to the barber and pretty soon you'll get a hair cut. There's another one too but I won't go there.
Let the guy go down on his own by himself. He doesn't need your help.
My first sponsor told me, "You're not God and you don't have the right to stand in someone's way of hitting their bottom." Aaron may learn the hard way(we hope)or he may not learn at all. You need to look out for #1. You said that seeing him was like looking at yourself. At this stage of the game, you don't need to be that close.
I was at a meeting the other night and a woman with about 15 years said something funny but very profound. She said, "When I'm in a bad place, I keep in touch with everyone but me!" I know when I'm in a bad place, I'm not very good company. You may feel like you're in a good place but we can BS ourselves real fast.
Stick with sober people and do what they do. You can't loose.
