Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I don't know what to do. He sounds really, really bad today. He says he has a friend coming over in half an hour, and he needs to take a nap until then, but he asked me to call him back in half an hour. Yesterday he was lucid and fine, and today he's slurring his speech and is barely coherent. I think he needs to go to the hospital. Even if I flew out there, the soonest flight would get me there at 6 p.m. Colorado time. I don't know what to do. I am freaking out here.

I guess I'm going to call him back in half an hour and tell him his friend needs to take him to the hospital. I mean, I literally can't get there in half an hour, so that's the best I can do.

I'm freaked out, terrified, and really, really angry. I know he didn't relapse AT me (or at anyone). I 110% know that addiction is a disease and not a moral failing, and I would kick anyone's ass who suggested otherwise. But I am really really angry at him. But also terrified. Fuck.

I don't know what to do. I don't want this responsibility. His fucking wife should come home. I shouldn't have to deal with this.

Punishingly Intricate

Oh, Steph, that's so scary. I take it his wife's still out of town? Have you talked to her at least?

She's out of town until Saturday. I haven't talked to her yet because yesterday he seemed to have everything under control. I mean, he had a plan, and he had friends staying with him, and every time I talked to him he was lucid.

I can't call her right now because I am sobbing.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Oh, Steph I'm sorry. Do you have the contact information for anyone that lives near him that you can send over there.

Well, he said a friend is coming over in half an hour (or less, now). And I'm going to call him back soon. I'm going to tell him that he needs to go to the hospital. If the friend is there, hopefully I can talk to her.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I'm so sorry, Teppy. That's agonizing to deal with from afar. Definitely talk to his friend when she gets there, just so neither of you feels so alone.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

I'm so sorry, Steph. It's horrible to feel so powerless to help someone you love. I hope you are able to get his friend to get him to the hospital.

No answer when I called. I'm trying very very hard to not jump to a worst-case scenario, because he did say he was going to take a nap.

But I left a message, and if he doesn't call me back in 15 minutes, I'm calling again.
