Oh dear lord! Itās NOT about fixing him. Itās about keeping him from drunk driving. Iām sorry you spent a huge portion of your life trying to fix an alcoholic. I did not.
Have you asked him why he drinks, is he unhappy about something in his life.
No I wonāt because Iām doing something about it. Iām not just going to say some stupid AA slogan and bug him to go to a meeting. Iām using science and logic.
Omg??? Who cares why he drinks??? Have you people learned anything??? You canāt fix someoneās drinking problem. He didnāt drink and drive for 8 years after his last DUI. He just started drinking and driving recently because someone told him that prison is like a nice little break from life and he believed it.
Maybe you shouldnāt comment if you have no intention of providing the requested info because all you want to do is feed your ego by showing how smart you are at curing another personās Addiction.
are you bored yet
@RufTheMagicVegan this is an app for recovery. If he drinks and drives let him go to prison. Shouldnāt be risking others. I definatley side with @littlemisschatterbox on this one. Everyone here are incredible folks with a wealth of knowledge and life experience. If itās this bad you should leave. Let him live his life and figure his own path.
Oh yeah! Thatās what Iāll do! Iāll quit my job and follow him around everywhere. God, youāre brilliant.
I know I should stop replying because no one here is interested in helping. But people being stupid and feeding their ego when someone needs help really pissed me off.
Youāve all completely missed the point of the 12 Steps.
I have 18 years of Sobriety from Alcohol. Iāve helped a lot of people. When someone in the program asks for A and I can give them A thatās what I do. I donāt give them B and tell them how much better B is than A. If I canāt give them A or wonāt give them A, I just move on.
I need credible info on prison TO SAVE SOME LIVES. If you donāt have that, scroll on by.
what about the people who donāt go to AA what point have they missed apart from you should go talk to your unhappy partner who is obviously trying to escape from something via prison or death. goodbye I hope he gets some help. I hope you get some help too.
Goodbye everyone! Enjoy your relapses!
You can always chat with a local sheriff? Maybe chat with a prison guard? Take a tour of the facility and report back to your significant other. Better yet take him with you.
That was fun.
Yes it was!
I did a year inside. I assure you itās no picnic. The worst part is jail which he will be sitting in for months. Sounds like itās just an excuse to drink but regardless his thinking is just plain screwed up
Iām confused how the idea of prison is more important than the idea of taking anotherās life? Is that something your boyfriend could live with while enjoying his 'holiday ā reading books?
Hold up. Reading some of this shit and is this for real? Sounds like a troll
If that was real i totally understand why he would want to go to prison, i just donāt agree with how he was trying to get there.
