Even his closest friend in NY has given up on him because of so many relapses and lies (this man is also an alcoholic, sober for 25 yrs.)
I feel like I've been the only one standing in the gap for him for the last 2 years, so I appreciate all the prayers.
He called last night, still drunk, but sounding more optimistic. He said he did confess to the Msgr. and I challended him strongly to get to church on sunday.
