Oh man, I’m certain I was the guy some girl warned her girlfriend about at some point. I did get better but I was a total mess for awhile.
It’s good that he is getting help and the fact he has had several relapses isn’t great but it’s also the path most people take before they get to actual sobriety. I relapsed a bunch of times before finally getting clean years ago. The relapses were part of the journey. If you do the work and turn each one into a lesson you can make positive improvement.
Great response! You covered several important points that were quite insightful. Great advice.
Thanks, Jim!

This is not an endorsement of relapsing.
if you had never been a mess, you wouldn’t have had any reason to get better!
