Nah. He was looking for support for his position. The problem is his position is "so I've been 'sober' for two months and my wife is a bitch!!!11"I don't disagree with anything you said Gav. I just feel bad that CJ came here to vent with some hope of a little encouragement and it just seemed like everyone took their shitty Day/Week/Life out on him. It seemed to me that CJ was/is trying to make some positive changes in his life and maybe he is in a little over his head. Maybe he isn't equipped or hasn't learned the coping skills to get by day to day being sober.
He has a 9 month old and I really hope for that kids sake that that he gets his shit together long term and is a REAL Dad not some drunk cliche. And if there is any chance that a kind word from a stranger can help make that happen you can be sure I am more than happy to provide that kind word. I know this is the internet but it is the Adult Forum and CJ showed some real vulnerability which to me takes courage, but so many cynical people just shit on him. I am done with this for the night, because I need to read my kids some bed time stories, I will be back tomorrow.
1) I don't believe anything an alcoholic says
2) He's clearly looking for moral support (hello gateway to opening up a bottle)
3) He's demonstrates lack of judgement (he's an alcoholic with a newborn and he won't talk to a therapist because they have better things to do during sessions)
I've never seen an alcoholic reasoned out of their stances. If he wants to improve anything he's going to have to try harder, he has to literally rebuild his entire life because his wife only knows him as an alcoholic and either he still is or he isn't but that means he's an ENTIRELY new person.
I hate to be a dick but, well alcoholics deserve it and he's looking for sympathy in a bottle anyway.
