I was inactive on the board to see his rise, but I'm here to see his fall, and the problem with him in his fall is he has zero humility. He calls people names, he's aggressive, he lashes out, blames everyone else for his issues, tries to cash in on others tragedy's etc
Be humble. That's what will help. People like to help people who are humble.

A great quote from an attorney i know about a weird situation I was in and the irrational responses from them.
"you'll never have a rational conversation with irrational people, you'll never have a mature conversation with immature people, you'll never have a reasonable conversation with unreasonable people etc". You can't evaluate ones behavior by contrasting it to your own when they are in a severely impaired mental / emotional and physical state and then expect him to behave as you do, decide as you do, understand as you do etc.
That won't happen.
Until he says "i'm fucked, i need help or i'll die",.... he'll continue down this path until he dies. A functional alcoholic might die slowly, he seems to have much more serious problems and likely doesn't have much time. His behavior shows how much trouble he's in. How skewed and distorted his understanding is of himself and his interactions with others and how delusional he is about his direction in life and the depth of denial there is in his personal problems and how they are destroying him.
My big problem with people like this is that historically, others follow them around talking about what a great guy they are - enabling their behavior and denial, instead of showing it for what it is,... the final days of an imploding addict.
