I couldn’t agree more. I do think he tries taking the easiest route. He has attended just a couple of AA meetings in the past but nothing of significance. It’s frustrating. We’ve talked about this so many times, that he can’t do this by himself- it hasn’t worked for him.
He has a long way to go. He has yet to fully acknowledge that alcohol is the reason for the long list of problems in his life. If he truly does start up with his counselor again (who’s a former alcoholic himself), that would be good because he’s a very strong advocate of AA and a no-nonsense guy who doesn’t put up with his excuses.
I pray often that he will get himself involved with something that will give him support with people who have gone through it. I know I need that.
