GOT AN ADDICT EXCUSE?
THE GRUMPY OLD TIMER WILL HANDLE IT!

A funny little recovery corner of the internet where addict logic gets roasted, terrible meeting coffee is respected, and the conversation still gets pointed back toward something real. What are you waiting for?

Here's a small sample of what happens when you bring him an excuse

Excuse:
“I’ve been sober long enough, I can probably handle one drink.”

Old Timer:
“Yeah, and I’ve been driving long enough to text at 70 mph. Doesn’t make it a good idea.”

Excuse:
“I’ll just drink on weekends.”

Old Timer:
“Yeah, addiction loves a good part-time schedule.”

Excuse:
“It’s not even my drug of choice.”

Old Timer:
“Poison is poison. You’re just arguing about flavor.”
