I don't think the letter is a good idea. You're making it complicated. Keep it simple: "Sorry, I've got no cash in the house." "Sorry, you can't come in to visit because I have to lie down now." The less words exchanged, the better.

I did not send him the letter. If you read the whole thread you would see that but I don't blame you for not wanting to read all that stuff. I am just telling him no to alcohol. He is walking my dog for me since I can hardly walk with a broken foot. I am going to tell him to stop trying to get me to buy alcohol. I am ordering food online so he doesn't have to do my grocery shopping for me. I am also going to ask him to get my prescriptions for me. I have 3 flights of stairs to go down to get to my car and with an air cast on I can hardly do that. I almost fell again today trying to get my mail. My friend has only once acted demanding for alcohol. I have forgiven him and I blocked his phone number for 3 days when he did that. That sent him a message not to demand anything from me anymore.
