also, i from what i've seen the alcohol is mostly craft beers. which to plenty of folks is a hobby. we love craft beers and brew our own... if posting a picture of yourself with a craft beer is definitive evidence one has a drinking problem, i guess my husband and i best get ourselves to AA?
It was not just "that"! Dad referring to "issues", cousin more than once needing to state he only had three to the media. imo
That just hit me as a system that hasa suffered with some of his issues. If you read his stuff there is a lot euphric recall in them. Wishing, longing to be altered, and fond memories of doing it or remembering last time he was
That classic --while the highlighting of "he is doing good NOW", to , was telling.
And finally, the need for most family members to highlight he is in=school full time,AND has a full time job, struck me again as a family that suffered thro addiction with a loved one .
It also hit me as he had tried and struggled to "stop" before --euphric recall is pretty much only evident when trying to stop -- its recollections of "great" time while altered, and logical as it relates to relapse.imo
If you think about it noone would have fond memories about burning your hand--but the other side of euphric recall is minimizing all the negative consequences experinced while being altered.
It was not just a instant thought - it was slowly getting the psycosocial as time passed
Dad statement just come home we wont ask you any questions also hit me , asw in the past, coming home, and being grilled -- how many did you have, what else were doing, etc etc
a parent on air broadcasting to his missing son that we wont ask any questions, is totally incongruent -- if someone you love vanished - you would not have a ton of questions if they returned. imo
That part sounded like he was pleaing to his son - again indicative of a family struggle with someone that has addiction history
In addition the giving up of looking for him , made me think the family system has experinced "stuff" like this before. If there had not been a history of "stuff" like "this " before most folks would call LE pretty instantly if for nothing else he did not have a coat and cop cars BOLO him would increase the liklihood of him not being in water now, a cop on BOLO, would def notice someone without a coat, and that would have been included in the report.
iom
I tend to beleive, that other humans passed him that night, but assumed he was homeless casue of dress and drove right by
