Post by dsi1Wrong, as usual. Alcohol was not a big part of my growing up. I haven't
seen much of alcohol good or bad. You do so carry on about alcohol.
You're like the poster child for boozing it up... so much fun!
Alcohol was never much of my parents' lives. My mother was not a drinker
and would not tolerate my father over indulging. I have no aversion to
alcohol but I really do not like to get drunk. I can't say it's never
happened. I like beer, wine and liquor, and tend to drink moderately. It
has not been a problem in my life, but I have seen it ruin the lives of
a few friends.
AAMOF Just last week I Googled an old friend and was saddened to come
across his obituary. Like most online obits there was a comments and
condolences section. Most of the condolence messages were very kind and
respectful. One was not. The said that he would not go into details out
of respect for the family but then went on to say the guy was the
ultimate narcissist and that it was always about him.
I could not disagree with the guy, but I would never have posted that on
line. I was interesting that it talked about how he had gone to the
arctic in 1980 and never came back south. I had known him at university
and reconnected with him when my wife worked at a special needs school
in the 1980s. He had indeed been living in the arctic. His father was
part Inuit and had returned him to run a rehab clinic. His family made
him go there for treatment. The obit talked about him managing a hotel
up there but did not say that he had been fired. That was when he moved
back south.
His live really fell apart back here. He lost his wife and kids. He
lost his job. The last time I saw him I had stopped by to visit him one
afternoon and he was a total mess. I tried to get him to go to the
hospital with me but he refused.
Apparently he did go back north and he made something off his life. He
managed to impress some people but apparently there was at least one
person who learned to see through his sociopathy and see him for what he
was.
