I have this scary problem

So yesterday I met this dude who was withdrawing from alcohol . He was drinking mouthwash. So we wait for athe store to open so I could just buy a few brews and he doesnt have an id

So we are just drinking and relaximg then he leaves later.

Now today im just watching tv shows and I hear 2 knocks on my door then he just opens it and walks im! Wouldnt that scare you? Then he starts talking about panhanling the coming back to buy him more beer cause he is withdrawing.

I have never met a worse drunk than me in my life.

It's called the "Law of Attraction" we tend to attract what we have in our thoughts, beliefs, and our actions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_...n_(New_Thought)

It was certainly true for me in my addictions; and is equally true in my sobriety

Simply put...."Ask and you shall receive"

Yeah, it's that simple IMO.

rule number one: lock your doors,

rule number two: we tend to attract people like us.

A person needs to be Sober to be withdrawing, his level of commitment is non existent!!

I'd agree call the cops if he comes back.

I would suggest though that perhaps you have a much scarier problem than this guy. Last time you were here you had just gotten back from the ER from yet another drinking episode. I'm guessing that since you are hanging out at the liquor store buying beers you are still drinking? I'd be VERY scared about that if I were you - deathly afraid

This is not true. I would withdraw with a drink in my hand simply because I was trying to taper. If I wanted to end the withdrawal temporarily, I needed 6 or 7 drinks in fairly short order.

Not letting strangers know where you live...and locking doors is you taking care of you. Both of these things may be far more intuitive, if you also started taking care of yourself with efforts in sobriety.

Do you want to sober?

Hey Nevar - yeah my life ended up pretty much like that - sometimes I was the guy with the place...sometimes I was the scary guy who walked in bold as brass and made himself at home...

It doesn't get any better - unless you change things man.
