I'll always help a vet regardless haven't heard from him in a year

[TEB]

Ok accidentally hit delete on first post vets anyway I didn’t have my glasses on. So last night around 0100 my phone was vibrating I keep ringer off but am a lite sleeper. Here it was a friend a former vet who found he was in tight spot to drunk to drive he couldn’t get a cab and like me had no clue what lyft or Uber in how to contact. My friend and I were both graduates of u benn fort benning a joke on a nod to higher education. And we’re both teamsters union proud although we feel Hoffa jr is piece shit as president of our union.

I pick up phone I phone hey I hear you around can you come get me I am at this bar. I said I’ll be there in half hour mister I feel bad for my friend he is a widower at 53 a year older than me. His wife passed last year he is very lonely he as I picked him up had 12 pack you want beer man. No I am eating naltrexone it works let’s just stop get some breakfast bro I’ll buy. He is so lost without his wife I feel for him I just gave him ride in to get his car this morning. I told him since you booked off work with hangover you can come for turkey chili tonight I’m gonna try and make corn bread you don’t have to be alone friend.

1. You're a good person, TEB

I hope your friend gets on the right path soon. I can't imagine losing a spouse after all that time, it's got to be so tough.

3. Aw, poor guy

and on top of everything, the holidays have to make it that much harder for him. You're a great friend for helping him out, TEB, but I think even more telling is the fact that this guy, whom you haven't heard from for a long time, knew he could call you in the middle of the night, and you would help him.

Stars in your crown, mister. Stars in your crown.

4. Nope we're both graduates of benning

5. That is what friends are for.

When someone calls in the early hours and has had too much to drink, a true friend will get out of bed and give him a ride. You are a true friend. Your friend is lucky that he has you to call. You might have saved him some serious trouble for driving drunk, or you might have saved his life. Like I said, a true friend.

6. I just tossed it out

I feel bad for him being widower he just has hard time keeping it glued together and he is good friend

7. That's how we take care of our own

Many of the guys I’ve been with are constantly in and out of rehab and crisis (the same goes for me as well).

A vet will understand a vet like nobody else.

It sounds like naltrexone is working for you, good. It helped me a lot when I needed it.
