Wednesday

Our boy came back home yesterday, and today Nabal is drunker than he has been in a long time. Our boy came in from a school event about 6:30 and he says Nabal could hardly stand. Welcome home, Somehow Nabal managed to go out and not return until 10:00. Wonder if he was driving drunk or if someone else was driving. Knowing what Nabal thinks of most other people I;m sure he drove. He was talking earlier about hunting down the new house of some renters who owe a lot of back rent. We really have no work right now, so I know that has him upset.

I came to a realization today while I was driving. Alcoholics blame how they act and what they say on the alcohol and say that's just the way the alcohol makes them act. So, why when it looks like everything is really about to hit the fan, and everyone around them has reached the finally straw are drunks able to control themselves while drunk? Nabal is nicer to all of us. Even trying to seemingly make amends even when he is drunk. A real change. So, my thought is that the whole I can't control myself when I drink is a cop out. When they have to they can control how they treat others. He knows he is about to lose everything I'm sure of it.
