Hi, Sandy! Trying desperately to get caught up on my reading. RL - UGH. But I want you to know how much I'm enjoying this. I don't know anything about alcoholism, but I think you're doing a great job of describing how Brian would handle it. I love how you have him and Emmett as confidantes. I think that is totally realistic, as is the slow progression you are describing, not only with Brian's journey regarding abstinence, but also his growing bond with Justin. I much prefer a good plotline over simple PWP anyday, as well as a little hurt/comfort and angst mixed in, and you are doing a great job of including all of that.
Looking forward to reading the rest of your story. Thank you for posting this on here. :) ~Kim

So glad you are enjoying the story. As you know from reading my other works, I like the slow buildup and am not really into writing PWP. Alcoholism is a complicated disease and one that needs to be unraveled. Justin is helping Brian unravel his sobreity.

I think that telling Emmett is a good start. Unlike Michael, Emmett takes what Brian says seriously. Would telling Deb and getting her to understand help with stopping Michael from being a shit? Justin posed the questions in a good way.
Author's Response: Michael has always been more into what he wants than what might be good for his friend.

Yes, he just needs to be able to separate the two activities. Maybe Ted can be a good support in helping him learn how to do that?
Author's Response: Brian has a lot to work through and I know he is learning, but right now he is still pretty confused regarding his life and what he really wants.

I love Emmett he is smart he can choose his words and questions without rushing. I think he'll be a great help against Michael and his complaints! The discussion with Justin allows Brian to ask the right questions and he understands that it is necessary to keep Justin as godfather before putting him in his bed! I do not know much about addictions in general, but it's certainly effective to have someone who makes you think about why to analyze the past but stay in the present. Great update.
Author's Response: Thank you. Emmett is a good friend and I think he was underutilized in the series. He was always protective of his friends.

Read this in one go.
The idea is so interesting. I thought of doing something similar but never got enough intel to do it properly.
I'm curious about Brian and Justin's journey and for how long they can keep their hands off each other.
Author's Response: Thank you for your comments. I hope that you are feeling this is a realistic story. Brian and Justin will eventually come together but not sure how that journey will develop.

Fantastic writing. Terrific chapter. Don't know much about alcoholics either, but everything written seemed to make sense in how any problems should be looked at.
Author's Response: Thank you . I'm glad that you are enjoying the story and like my writing. I know a lot about alcohoics but do not work in that field. ( work in human service and have worked with people who have addictions). thanks for your continued support of my writing.

How many more chapters of this story are there
Author's Response: Britinaykin:
I am actively writing the story and have no idea how many chapters there will be. I can't even begin to guess. There is still a lot to explore with Brian and his addiction and coming to understand why he drinks as well as how his life might change. I understand if you are waiting to read the story until it is finished. I am keeping to a bi-weekly posting schedule and might be able to post weekly once the school year is over, but I can't promise that.
