And come to find out, he opened up and had to tell me something, that he was going to go check himself into rehab because he's been drinking since that night. And I'm like, rehab, which I'm like, what do you mean? So he end up and told me that he was a recovery alcoholic. So basically he didn't tell me this in the beginning. Women got to know each other

The only way you know that you've kicked alcohol or drugs is to never pick it up again. If you pick it up, then you lose. So your clean time becomes very comfortable to you. That is something that if this guy was really working a program, you know what I mean, they say it works if you work it. And in that program, whichever it would be, whether it be drugs or alcohol, you try not to mention that fellowship because it works

And also a lot of recovering people try to attach to people, because when you stop drinking, you find out who your drinking partners was and who your friends were. I have one person that came back after I stopped drinking those years ago and said, do you want to go get a burger? Everybody else was about, I got ten, you got ten. If you didn't have that ten, you wasn't hanging

He's a great person. I see a lot of their potentials. We had a lot in common. We laughed, we had great conversations. But he was a little bit selfish as well, too. Very selfish. Every time I talked about my issue or talk about my day, very dismissive. So, again, I don't know if it's his past. He told me his past. We all have trauma

He's allergic to alcohol and when he drinks it, he either breaks out in handcuffs or it starts tearing his life apart. And I'm glad he got it back down again. And yeah, I mean me, I would just let it go, you know what I mean? For now and then we'll see what the future holds. Ultimately, we're not in charge. God is. And if it's met, it'll be all right. Be good. Bye
