Are you really saying that handing anti anxiety medications to an uninstitutionalized non recovered alcoholic is a good idea? You are not an alcoholic. AA doesn't need to be a "good fit" he just has to do it. And he will, when those around him allow the consequences of his behavior to get bad enough. If he doesn't go to AA his chances of recovering at all are incredibly low. An ex charge nurse ought to know that. Giving him meds on his own is worse than dangerous, it is harmful. You made the recommendation in your previous post that he should be given anti anxiety meds. Don't try to say you meant otherwise. That is a shockingly horrible suggestion.
