I Am Afraid For My Friend

Tweet

The guy that I talk about who is an alcoholic was busted drinking in his room in the board and care where we live. Now, his girlfriend says that he has started drinking in the bathroom at the Burger King next door. I do not hang around either one of them anymore, but I talk to her on the phone today. When she told me this, the first thing that I thought about is that this is a resturant that kids like to go to. They have already chased him from in front of Burger King several times for pan handling to buy beer. He is a very nice guy and I would hate for him to get in trouble for something like this. I think that drinking in a place where alcohol is not serve and that kids frequent is just not a good idea at all. I am also scared for the kids who would run into him. I hate caring about these two, because I end up in the middle all the time. I do not understand why I keep caring or even more, why she continues to confide in me when she knows how strongly I feel about this kind of behavior. And I just thought of another thing, my twenty year old niece goes to the school right across the street. Well I just hope and pray that she is watching her diet, because I would hate for her to run into him. But, what can I do?
