Well- havin' that key hanging on the wall alongside each cell sure made things handy!
And also the fact that the only bullet allowed in Barney's weapon was probably in Andy"s pocket.
Well he got out of jail this evening. His Dad picked him up. His Dad had already spoken with Jon and the few other friends his son has about not taking him to get any booze. He told his son when he got home he wanted his room cleaned out and no more booze was allowed in the house. His parents are good people. I'm not sure what went down but he evidently called Jon to get some sympathy from his friend about Dad's new rules and he and Jon had words. Im not sure what happened cause I had my headphones on and Jon was in the bedroom. Jon said something about not having anything else to do with him while he was drinking. Poor Jon had hopes the jail time would scare him into atleast cutting back on drinking but it didnt. I warned him it probably wouldnt. Evidently his pal had intended to come straight home from jail and crawl right back into the bottle. It is pathetic.
Y'know, many years ago I drank quite heavily. I had some personal demons and it helped numb me.....for awhile. I wouldn't say I was an alcoholic, the alcohol was just a way to escape. One day I realized what I was doing was creating more problems and hurting other people. I quit drinking completely for 2 years and dealt with my demons head on and sober. Since then I do have an occasional drink or two, but never more than 3 in a day. Honestly, I haven't even had a social drink in several years now. Not because I quit drinking, but because I just haven't been inclined to do so. What it comes down to, IMO, is this kid has personal problems and will continue to drink until he decides to deal with them and just maybe get some help. Until he makes that decision nobody and nothing will get him to stop.
