Just sending a hug, cos I read Sofaraways reply on Lost Phils thread and well you know the rules on "the Man's" thread.
Holy Cow! It just dawned on me. Our friend with the aforementioned thread is a dry drunk! Definition: "Although dry drunk is not a medical diagnosis, the phrase is used by members of AA to describe a group of symptoms which they believe come about as a result of not following the twelve steps. A person who quits drinking without embracing the tenets of AA as the means to quit drinking will experience many unpleasant feelings and exhibit maladaptive behaviors. These feelings are said to include despair, anger, rage, depression, and anxiety and are expressed in behavior stemming from those types of feelings. This dry drunk state is thought to lead, virtually without exception, to the resumption of an even more intensive and harmful drinking spree. A recovering alcoholic who is no longer drinking but whose thought processes are considered to continue to be distorted by the thought patterns of addiction." Sound familiar? I'm sure he'll be open to hearing all about it so that he can get better! NOT.
