I trust him as a friend, yes. But I fear if I go stay with him I'll only be substituting one drug for another. Why? Because he's an alcoholic. He doesn't admit to being an alcoholic, but I grew up with alcoholics and am one myself. So I know what an alcoholic is. He doesn't drink beer, just straight liqour and whiskey. He starts when he wakes up in the morning by mixing whiskey with his coffee and goes on with it until bedtime. I haven't drank in quite awhile, thats one thing i have been able to turn down. But I know that if I go down there and get cravings, I'll replace it with alcohol to cover it up. So I'm not so sure it's a good idea for me to go there. I was in recovery long enough to know a drug is a drug is a drug and a drug addict can not successfully use any drug, including alcohol. One is too many and a thousand is never enough.
