Tuesday

It is really bothering me that Nabal works so very hard at corrupting the sobriety of others. He's like the Pied Piper, like the snake in the garden... Advising people who are getting help to disregard it. Advising guys getting meds to help with their addictions and the mental issues that stem from them to stop taking their medecine so they can drink wih him. Finding recovered alcoholics and plying them with alcohol until they secumb.  Giving pointers on how to stay out of rehab. Looking at loved ones who are trying to save their addicts lives as the bad people and telling that to the addict. He has taken calling good evil, and evil good to a whole new level. It's as if his highest calling is to corrupt people! He than, with great disgust, points out what horrible drunks or druggies others are. Sudden high moral ground equal to any latter century temperance leader. Boggles the mind... I often wonder if he has deluded himself as much as he tries to delude others?

Evening:
How quickly Nabal changes... Yes drunk again and his phone rang, he looked at it and put it back in his pocket. "Do you believe Muncho keeps calling me? I don't have any money to give anyone. Stupid drunk just needs to quit drinking...stupid drunk."

Well...wow... Turned on the guy that fast. Muncho is the Protege's nickname. The guy is looking to Nabal to bail him out of his troubles because Nabal spent the last 10 years calling the guy 'mijo' more than Nabal called his own son 'my son.' Funny, Nabal likes to act like everyone's dad, the benevolent jefe until there is real trouble, then Nabal looks down his nose from his lofty heights and calls ya stupid.

Tonight Nabal told me we were all together against the world. I laughed before I could stop myself. He asked, "What? You aren't with me?" I just looked at him and asked, "We who?" he replied, "Well, you, me an the kids." now that was funny! Yes, true crazy making actions.
