If he is a retard and just blames it on the alcohol leave him out of your life. You obviously do not want to go through that shit again and personally although you have done the right thing getting him home, you have to confront him about it. Note: I know that this maybe isn't the best information as i don't know everything about your life but just make sure he knows where he stands now. What you say is true to some extent, but i am 100% that when he snapped out of it he couldn't remember what happened. As for the rest i will confront him, the last time that stuff happened to do with alcohol that i mentioned in the OP, he ended up seeing counselling for weeks and he got much better. He used to be really bad every week, and now this is the first time in 6 months. I am sure he is gonna have a lot to say when i see him today.

You certainly got lucky that he snapped out of it but next time you may not be. Yes you are awesome for seeing through to your rules but u should definitely maintain ur own safety first. If you were a true friend you would sit down and chat with him about his problems. Good job though, who knows where he might have went if you were not there. Liam isn't even big, that is my friend Jean, although he is strong, he spends a huge amount of time at the gym. I am not even so sure that i couldn't beat him in a fight if i had to, i have spent a long time of my life doing self defence classes, but after he hit me twice i knew i couldn't bring myself to fight my friend, and that i couldn't just leave him, so i just lead him around. I honestly do not know what i should have done. I would never call the police on a friend if i could possibly avoid it, (and he wasn't a threat to anyone else), and i wasn't going to fight him when i would probably lose, so i did the only thing i thought i could do. Running is one of the things that i like to say i'm better than most people at, the other is Gaming, hence the location of this post. On May 28 2011 17:20 underscore wrote: Don't delude yourself.

Can i ask what you think i should have done is? At the very latest you should have backed off once he threatened you with physical violence. Just let him run, it's not like he is gonna freeze to death in May. Even in Britain the weather can't be that shitty. If it was a woman it would be a different story because she puts herself in danger whereas your friend who has shown this kind of behaviour before is a danger to the people around him. You can't talk sense into people who are in such a mental state. If you want to help talk to him while both of you are sober. | ||

While i seriously doubt he would've killed you, threatening and acting violent with your friends is absolutely wrong, no matter what a friend would do i wouldn't threat or act aggressive towards him (worst case i'd break the friendship). You need to talk to him about that, confront him when he's sober and hopefully you both will find a way for that behavior to stop. I hope he will see what a good friend he has (not many would do what you did). But i also have to criticize you for texting your girlfriend with that text. What you did was really foolish and egoistic. You were not close to dieing and (if your gf was awake) you scared the shit out of her. | ||

One example from Stockholm a few nights ago at a fast food resturant a man asks another guy why he was cutting the line. The guy who obviously never learned how to cue became furious and gave the man 2 punches. He fell down and hit his head on a table and died later the next day. (source to above: here It's in Swedish though) | ||

Be careful though, sometimes it's better to let them do their own thing without you trying to stop them. As other people have said it only encourages him as he's got a 'safety net', if he repeatedly runs into situations where he fucks up when he's drunk, he'll learn through actions that he shouldn't be the huge dick he's being. In a way, you're enabling him. In a way. | ||

I respect you a lot after what you did for your friend, and I wish you could share with us his reaction after he is sober and hear what he has done to you. Thanks for sharing :} | ||

in all honesty though, you sound like a great person who deserves better than what your friend has to offer. I know this is just a small excerpt of your relationship, but the things you describe are usually either end in lawsuits or deaths. | ||

However, like others have said, your friend doesnt deserve someone like you. Sounds like he knows he gets aggressive/violent when drunk yet he stills drinks enough to trigger it, then hides behind I was too drunk/i dont remember anything i did. Being arrested by the police almost sounds like it would be better for him, waking up behind the bars a few times would certainly teach him a lesson faster than being told in the morning that he punched and ran after you yet you still took care of him.. | ||
