A finger wagging
Speaking of the weaker brother notion, last night I went to Overcomers Outreach (for recovering addicts if you're new here) and here is one of those (hopefully rare) moments in which I am going to wag my finger at the world and presume that writing a blog qualifies me to tell everybody what to do:
If you know someone who has a problem with alcohol, that's any sort of problem, because in this case I don't think it matters whether or not you think they have the wrong or right problem with it, don't you ever, ever, ever be the person who encourages them to drink. Because you could completely ruin their life!
