I broke my sobriety streak because of how much my dad means to me.
Really weird when I’m reading the title, but man. My dad, who raised me and my 2 other biological siblings alone, working day and night, hardly ever getting sleep, trying his best to keep a roof over our heads, and simply trying his best. He’s actually old now. He’s in pain because of his bad arthritis, has health complications, but he does not give a shit because that’s the kind of guy he is. I love my dad, I admire him. When I was a teenager, I always blamed him for every issue in my life, but now as a father and husband myself, I always come to him for advice.
Today, or I guess yesterday, we were watching the bears vs packers game. He, my mom, and little brother are over at my house, and he brought a case of beer for the game. I was an alcoholic and managed to quit, but today I drank 3 beers before my dad cut me off. Normally I wouldn’t drink, but knowing about his health and all, I don’t know how much time I have left with him. And I’ll be honest, only reason I stopped at 3 was because of how much respect I have for that man. I think the only other people who could make me come to my senses with alcohol in my system are my wife and mom. I wouldn’t know though because I haven’t

Trying to be fair, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that friction is hard to ignore That part stands out. Feels like there’s more coming here.
From where I sit, the direction makes sense but the details are messy which is why this is getting picked apart

Trying to be fair, the wording alone shifts how people read this Interested to see the follow-up. Others will probably see it differently.
the follow-through is what will decide this and that friction is hard to ignore That’s the key detail here.

the way this is presented changes how it lands and that friction is hard to ignore Not convinced this is settled yet. Others will probably see it differently.

At first glance, this feels rushed rather than thought through and that’s why opinions are all over the place That’s what makes this interesting. We’ll see how people react over time. That’s just my read on it.
Just reading this, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome which makes the reaction pretty predictable
Looking at this, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That’s the key detail here. Interested to see the follow-up.
Looking at this, this feels more about execution than intent and that friction is hard to ignore That part stands out. That’s the impression it gives me.
Reaction: That's a real one
Real talk, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so which is why the comments look the way they do
