Leave them to make their own decisions

“Perhaps the first thing we expect to learn in Al-Anon is how to get the alcoholic to stop drinking.” (ODAT, 12 May)

Maybe they want to drink.

Maybe they do not want sobriety.

Maybe they do not want the world.

Maybe they do not want life.

Who am I to tell them that they’re wrong?

No one needs school ma’am making existential decisions for them.
