I think this being “tonight” points more to a termination too.

Has today for the club “family meal” then terminate. Rather than have him cause issues there.

From personal experience, verbal commitments about alcohol dependence are just that. Verbal commitments. And unless he's willing to stand up and take REAL ownership of his issue, then it remains a problem. On and off the field. I'm no saint but I've seen the gutter. There ain't no 'fence sitting' with alcoholism. As others here have said, the first drink is too many the 100th is not enough. And if Adam's serious about confronting his demons he needs to leave his current social environment because there are too many skeletons there dating back years. But who am I to speculate. All I know is that, at this crossroad in his life, his health MUST come first, and that means a complete break from his current situation and the elements that can all too easily 'trigger' a relapse.
We dont know if he is an alcoholic or not, only he can know that with guidance.
Your right about verbal commitments, practicing alkies are selfish.
Sometimes even dry ones :tearsofjoy:

I reckon he could be saved coz it could be seen as getting rid of him for cap relief. But it was alright for Dragons to do it for Vaughan. FFS
Vaughn was different in that he was on or near 800K.

Booze should be available, it’s an end of year get together for adults. If those that consume it fuck up they should be dealt with accordingly. That’s the problem, in the past it hasn’t but hopefully that will change now with Gould.
