you said : "So I have to find a way to help him because there is not one other living soul in that man's life that doesn't drink."
I beg to differ. IF he wants to change, he can call me or other men on the board who are in that class.
I want to help him. We all do. We've been there. Trust us. As men among other men, we NEED to offer our help. It's part of our strength.
PLEASE tell him if he wants to talk to a 'real man' who will not blindly support the 'AmyC' view of the world, but will instead hear him as a man, as an equal, then he can call me. While I'm still a 'heathen' in your view, I guarantee that I am not a man who would support a losing strategy.
Amy, I've sent you my number via private E-Mail. I'd like to talk with Jeff, mostly because his 'story' will help me in my growth.
