@jadewarshaw: Sometimes when we choose not to “help” we get more caught up our side of the equation and how we feel. ie guilt, shame, am I not generous, type thoughts. Instead of thinking of the other side of the equation. and how giving a drunk a drink is hurting them. A lot of times folks are asking for help because they don’t believe they can help themselves, when you agree to help, you are agreeing that they are not able to help themselves. Think about that for a minute. You are co-signing their low self esteem. Don’t do it and if you have. You need to stop.
