I told him to keep in touch & that I'm willing to take him to a meeting any time I can. I didn't mean to sound like a jerk last night...This lack of sleep is just frustrating. Thanks for the advice, Misssy.

I don't think you sounded like a jerk. You just don't sound "available" to be there for someone at any time of any day whether they go to meetings or not. When we offer to help someone that doesn't mean they have to follow any particular rules of ours..it means that we literally are in place that we are ready to help someone.

If you struggle with sleep (as I do)...you should be your number 1 priority and this person should be passed on to someone who is ready for this kind of newbie stuff....
