How did you do it ?
I met my future wife and her sister in the cloth market in Muang Loei 47 years ago. They were selling clothing. I had a couple months training in Thai courtesy of the U.S. Peace Corps. My wife did not speak English at the time. -

Seeking Recommendations for Alcohol Rehab Centers in Thailand
Thank you. I believe he would do the same for me if the tables were turned. He is a lovely guy who has taken a very dark turn. -

Seeking Recommendations for Alcohol Rehab Centers in Thailand
what India doesn't have - me to have the police escort him off the plane to me waiting in my car - me delivering him to the rehab center - me taking care of him for 60 days after rehab (yes, I am an EX addict and I fully understand the headspace he'll be in after just 30 days rehab and that it's the start of a long journey) - me taking him to the airport and having him police escorted to the gate for his trip back to Europe - his family meeting him in Europe where he can continue his journey UK doctors have refused to put him through detox prior to the flight. He says he'll taper off prior to coming - but he's an alcoholic. So whilst he is willing to come - we can't trust him waiting for a flight at the airport in UK - there's bars there! Post rehab - my experience was an inability to focus for a long period of time. Of extreme muscle and joint issues getting moving again. He works in the building industry - mostly on the finishing side and so the plan is to give him a purpose while he's here - to help us renovate the house as much or as little as possible - maybe new kitchen cupboards, maybe wallpaper and painting, maybe new bathroom - whatever he can manage - but something with purpose that will help regain his dignity. We'll also use the time to re-establish lost relationships - many people I've spoken to want nothing more than to see the person he once was again. That means rebuilding bridges he thought he'd burnt and that I've since found he hasn't. So - Thailand is a good place. He wont have money in his pocket at any point and he's agreed to that - he doesn't know the place - he's agreed to 90 days here and 60 of which are at our house - with the blessing of my wife. We'll go on walks and eventually runs and swims. We'll do temples and Lopburi and stuff like that - but mostly - he'll be recovering his health and dignity. What we don't want - is him going back to his home town and his family are all in Spain and can watch over him as he continues his recovery journey. What we also don't want is him sitting in a bunch of meetings where he'll be counting the days since his last drink and being told he's an addict forever - that's bull<deleted>. It's like a toxic relationship - you leave because it is damaging - but the love is still there. Once you fall out of love with your poison - you are no longer addicted and in a state where you'd rather eat <deleted> than go back to it. Of course - that is my lived experience and the best I can do is guide him through it - the rehabs I have spoken to so far think it's a wonderful idea. -

History called Merrick Garland. He blocked the call. Profile in discourage.
I have no reason to think that Merrick Garland wouldn't have made a good supreme court justice. But as the Attorney General during Biden's term, his actions, more like his absurdly delayed actions, set the table for the reemergence of the disaster soon to be inaugurated January 20. He was appointed as a consolation prize for having had his seat on the court stolen from him. I understand the emotion behind that -- but what a massive historic mistake. The USA and the world will pay a very big price for the milquetoast behavior of Merrick Garland. -
