ocean dragged my alcoholic neighbor to AA

Neighbor came over to my boat last night, drunk as usual and mean. i asked him to leave and he got in his dinghy to row to his boat but the tide was so strong and he was too drunk to fight it, it ended up literally dragging him to the AA by the Bay on shore.... he attended, spoke, and plans to attend every week now.
wow.

 

divine intervention

 

That was very nice of you to take the time and effort to do that to help someone.

 

Sounds made up.

 

I thought people aren't allowed to be in AA meetings if they are drunk. Pretty wild though.

 

So, what youre really saying is he has a small dingy.

 

What was she supposed to do, wise-ass, row the boat for him?

 

yeah, they asked him to return, but not drunk next time!

certainly sounds too good to be true. i could hardly believe it either!

my husband offered to row him home but he responded, fuck you.... so....

 

truth has been known to be stranger than fiction sometimes.......

 

yeah. when we saw him floating over, we were skeptical he'd get any help out of it. guess he saw it as a sign, because he spoke, participated and seems to want to get better through AA.

 

Good for him for making that start!

 

yes, it only took the forces of nature! hard to ignore!

 

LOL, I should have said " waadaya gonna do, take away his oars?"

It's great the guys getting himself some help :2thumbsup:

 

it's funny he got kicked out for being a mean drunk, and the ocean brought him to AA....

 

He's damn lucky for it too, It could have been a lot more tragic... Mother nature was gentle with him this time. He could have ended up in 'Davey Jones locker' as they say..arr! irate:

 

meh, he's fallen in the bay so many times... around our mooring field, drunken neighbors falling in the water and the rest of us having to play rescue is so common, we call it 'the goat show'. you have a point though,depending on the tide, he could have been dragged out to sea.... we wouldn't have let that happen. but the tide was coming in, and happened to be directly in the direction of the sunset AA meeting on shore.

 

Sometimes God steps in.

 

The goat show...:smilielol5:

 

if the AA meeting people verified it themselves, it would have more credibility.

 

not really

drunks are usually liars too
