Thank you all for your advice and suggestions. I realize he has a problem. I have been talking to him for two months and find him to be a good listener and sincere. The least I can do for him is to remain friends with him and listen to his problems if he wants to confide in me too. I know he probably is spending too much money on alcohol because he said he does not have much money and could save money if he did not spend it on alcohol. He has been honest with me. I will probably not visit him in Michigan because I can't afford it and don't think I could handle his alcohol problem. I have many problems myself. I am all alone in this world and have no friends. Weirdly, he has been the only one who takes the time to listen to my problems. I give him credit with his alcoholism that he still takes his time to respond to me. He must have a high alcohol tolerance and may be a high-functioning alcoholic. I don't know for sure. However, he only hangs out with his drinking buddies after work and has no other sober friends I have realized. He tried to get me to drink and I drank one glass of red wine and was about to black out and told him, I will not drink anymore. I thought I could handle one glass of red wine but due to my medication, I was not able to handle it and blacked out almost but drank really strong caffeine which helped alot. I don't know what is so great about alcohol but he has a disease and a weakness with it. I like him as a person and feel if he needs help and wants to confide in me about wanting help, I will try to help him. I know it is not my business to help him since he has not asked for help yet. However, he has been really nice, sincere, and honest with me. I respect these qualities and am not exactly happy that he feels comfortable to be himself with me, but realize he trusts me and probably really likes me. I cannot just dump him as a person who cares about him as a friend. I am wondering if he has any true friends who don't drink. He probably does not. I will be there just in case he wants to quit but not get romantically involved with him. I really appreciate all of your comments. I feel as if people feel the same about me that since I am mentally ill and have been homeless that people would dump me because of my history. Thus, I am not going to do this to him. Yes, I could run away from him and it would be one less problem for me. However, you would not believe the jerks I have met who are married, lie about their situations, and have no interest in me as a person. I can't say I am in love with this man. But, I can say he has a heart, is honest, and is a really good person as far as I can tell. I find it sad that he has an addiction but can tolerate it and would like to be there to help once he decides he needs help. He is still paying his ex-wife financial support. He does see his kids occasionally. So, he is being responsible albeit his addiction. I give him credit. He is not the devil and not an angel. He has a weakness like I have a mental illness. I will do my best to help myself first, of course. And, when he needs help one day, I hope he can find the help and find someone to help him whether it be me or his family. Thank you again!! Happy New Year!
