Hooray Apathy!

I'm not even sure what I did when I was angry about something prior to blogging. Sometimes I feel like I rant far too much on here.

Anyway...

I am tired of feeling like someone's enabler.

An old friend of mine clearly has an alcohol abuse problem and after declaring that I would no longer spend time with him unless he started admitting that he had a problem, and making an effort to get help for it, he decided he was going to quit drinking altogether.

While not believing this was the wisest course of action (has cold turkey ever REALLY worked for anyone?), I fully supported his decision, and decided I would plan some sober nights in so he could have social interaction but still steer clear of alcohol.

Tonight was supposed to be the first night, so I declined all other offers of plans and set to work trying to come up with ideas to keep him entertained and happy all night.

Other mutual friends doubted his sincerity in this quest for sobriety, but like a sucker, I believed every word he said.

Surprise!

He got off work, called me and told me he had some errands to run before he came over.

Turns out those errands consisted of going to his going to a buddy's house to drink. Apparently he has a 'reason' for drinking tonight, but can't tell me over the phone what it is. Methinks it likely has something to do with some error in judgment he made WHEN he was drinking, but regardless, I'm done with being the supportive friend to someone who hasn't been much of a friend, period.
