I mean you're not that old.

? I'm 33. I didn't say I was old though....

A few years of living with in a trailer with your parents, a few years living in ****ty apartments you can't remember popping pills, and now you're in a halfway house. Not that many years of proud booze self-reliance.

Maybe you're forgetting how this argument started?

It wasn't with me bragging about my success in life, it was with you bragging about being such a "functional" alcoholic.

I merely pointed out the obvious fact that you live with your mom so it's pretty easy to be functional when you don't have to pay your own way. FTR I was also functional whenever I lived with my parent(s) ;).

I mean how many years were you a respectable man living on his own not a fiend? How much credit do you think you're owed for being a derelict paying rent?

I've literally never been a respectable man lol. You're grasping at straws and it's pathetic

You are still not getting it. You not falling into the true rabbit hole of self destructive addiction is not a sign of personal strength but rather a symptom of the comfortable life your mom allows you. Living in the suburbs on your parents dine drinking bum beer is undoubtedly the best life style any Steel Reserve drinker ever enjoyed... so count your blessings.

I mean it sounds like you're quantifying your respectable non-fiend time against my living with mother years to feel superior so clearly you feel like you have straws to grasp.

If I was doing so I would only need 1 single year of non fiend time to win that contest

But as I said before I wasn't bragging about myself I was giving you a reality check... Functional while not paying your own bills = not that functional. That's the bottom line.

Sounds like you are trying to win a contest and then adding a bunch of nonsense afterward to hide your narcissism. I wonder what your sponsor would have to say about that.

I don’t know the deets but my understanding is Bat contributes to his mom both emotionally and financially and gives way more than he takes. Not everyone who lives at home is a mooch.
