Musings of a Gotham City Geek
What is the sound of one blog clapping?
Our friend came into the fellowship of AA in the late 1990s. I knew he partied a lot but I had no idea he was in our specialized ranks. I came into the program in 2001. We never met or discussed the program but we relayed messages through my sister. The way I understand it, a year or so ago he found out he had AIDS and started drinking again. I remember asking my sister to have him call me. But we all know what that is like. The last thing a relapsing alcoholic wants to do is call another sober member. Pride gets in our way every time. Let’s not forget remorse, guilt, and shame. His reasons for going back out only he knows. It was a combination of a thousand excuses alcoholics use to justify their reasons.
