Behavior of alcoholic?
Question by sharkey: Behavior of alcoholic?
One of my closest friends has been an alcoholic for 12 years. He has been to rehab, AA, etc… He was sober for nearly 60 days when last week his sponsor, for whatever reason, began putting doubt in his mind that he had the alcohol “allergy”. Ever since that conversation, he’s been struggling with this question & has been contemplating “testing” this supposed allergy. He assured me he would tell me if he did in fact relapse, as he tells me everything & I don’t ever judge.
He came by on Wednesday & wasn’t himself. He was shaky, edgy, & kept checking his cell phone to see what time it was- This is completely out of character for him. By 7pm, he said he was tired & wanted to go home. He told me he’d call when he got home. He lives 30 minutes away & after an hour & a half of not hearing from him, I text him to ask if he got home okay, to which he responded “Hi! At my buddy Matt’s house.” I’ve never heard of Matt. This is the last I heard from him.
We generally talk 3 or 4 times a day. I’ve tried texting him twice & called once yesterday. I left a voicemail asking him to please text or call me because I’m worried about him & if he needs space, I’ll respect that, but to please just send me a text. I’ve heard nothing. We were also supposed to leave town this weekend, which obviously never happened.
I’m not sure what else I can do. Is it safe to assume he might have relapsed? And of so, is it normal to cut off ties with someone who’s so close to you? Will I likely ever hear from him again? Thanks

You might want to avoid him since he is just acting in the different way…. Not sure what kind of way.. Hard to say for this situation…
Hm.. Is it normal to cut off ties with someone who’s so close to you? I would say yes.
Good luck!
