I've seen some pretty high-ranking corporate officers get soooo frelling toasted that their employees have put them in a hotel room.
The problem is, with the "Just say no" crap and SADD, MADD, and whatever organization - is that kids aren't taught responsible drinking - they get their first taste of freedom with it and go all out and can't handle it.
I thought you said you couldn't get it up because the local sheep farmer moved his herd farther away from your property?Sarcasmo said:

Yeah silly. Everything is as it should be. Thank you for caring though. Right now I am in the middle of my 4th step, "Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves." Simply put, it's an effort to discover my liabilities. The timing couldn't have been more on the mark. Father's day is coming, and today is June 15th. Yesterday I did an overview of 1994 and 95. Today I avoided it completely. I've got buddies to guide me through it. I start by writing down a name, as memories come up I write down situations, note which of my "human failings" came into play and then where was I at fault. I Do NOT recommend doing it without a 12 step program to see you through it. It's good though when done right. It just helps me to see myself a little clearer. It helps me to appreciate the people who have come into my life and let go of old animosities. It's teaching me how to forgive.

So it seems that millions was right, he's just going through the program, and making a list of all of the things he needs to apologize for.
He stopped at 96 because that's the year all of our shit went down, and the year we got married, and the year he moved me downstate to own a business.
He called last night around 9:30 and we filled each other in on the little things, I told him about Ryan and the engagement, he was kinda dumbfounded... and he remembers Ryan
edit: does anyone else see this whole 12 step program as a little self-centered?

Hopefully he'll be able to move on with his life now and let you get on with yours.
he has no idea where I live, nor has he for years, that fact won't change. He knows better than to even ask. When I told him I was engaged, he asked what month and what year he should send me a gift to work ... lol. Him doing me physical harm has never been a fear of mine.zengirl said:So it seems that millions was right, he's just going through the program, and making a list of all of the things he needs to apologize for.

Unfortunately, my family could provide a case study in irresponsible substance abuse. My brothers' 50 year old mom has been an habitual drug abuser for more than three quarters of her life, and she has instilled this sensse of irresponsiblity and disregard for authority into my youngest brother who, at 19, is facing jail time for getting drunk and vandalizing his upper middle class subdivision.Millions said:Oh, I'm always right...I'm a republican.
I would like to think there are more responisble adults / young adults and that we only really HEAR about the irresponsible ones. I mean I look at my family and friends and most of them are pretty straight edge. They all have jobs, go to school and don't get shit-faced.
At a certain point in your life you should be over getting drunk or stoned out of your mind and grow the fuck up...there is nothing worse then hearing about some 50 year old guy getting blasted and beating his wife or something.
