We ate a big lunch and he spent over 150 dollars on alcohol and food with me. He paid for it all. I think he has a nice side to him. But, he told me his ex-wife also brought up his drinking as an issue for divorce. I feel bad for him. I told him if he ever wants to quit to contact his doctor ASAP and go into rehab. I told him not to quit on his own because it is hard. Also, I told him if he thinks he is drinking to feel normal or to feel better, he needs help ASAP. I did my best to inform him and to tell him his drinking is not healthy. Well, I feel a whole lot better that I tried to steer him in the right direction before letting him go. I don't feel good about it still but at least he has information about getting help and quitting. Case closed for now. Thank you so much!! Happy New Year!!
Good for you, bp! I am glad you let him go and did your part about the drinking so that you can feel good in walking away. This was the best decision for yourself. Congrats!

Happy New Year to you!!!
