Besides, he doesn't have it together enough to walk the walk under the same roof. Also, he has only been dry for a couple of months.
In general, a LBS should never leave. But he's on the cusp of it. To backtrack now could be the equivalent of a death blow in his sitch....
Find me someone on this site that wasn't all over the road when they got here. Jab has been flogged enough over his problems. He just didn't know enough to not make claims under emotional distress. I put no stock in coulda, shoulda, woulda.
You have an attitude problem, SA.
I am not flogging Jab at all and yes, every single one of us was a wreck when we arrived here. However, this is what happens when we stay: we learn and then we try to help others. That doesn't always include warm and fuzzy coddling. It you want an idea of how I "flog" look around these boards. You will find plenty of examples of my "flogging". You will also find a lot of patience and encouragement, just as was given to me when I arrived and ALL the times I backslid. I don't even know jab well enough to even begin to "flog" him. Are you here to help him or coddle him? I am here to try to help him and if that includes saying things YOU perceive as floging, I don't give a rat's ass.
Sorry about the hijack, jab. I will remove myself from your thread for a little while to prevent any further nonsense.
