A specific example:
there's a guy I know from 12 Steppers that does way better when he's in the Salvation Army program. While he acknowledges that, he also hates their program. I'm aware of his specific complaints and while I concur, I have also noted, when the SA folks work with him to establish better living skills and an independent place for him to live, he invariably fucks up.
I find myself (uncomfortably) wishing he would hook up with a 'dom' who could go the 'extra mile' with him and provide a highly structured environment for him to live in. Al isn't too receptive about anything like that.
But he will die if he doesn't find something that provides the structure/control/discipline he 'needs' (IMO) but doesn't necessarily want.
I'm damn tired of finding out people I know from the 12 Steppers orbit being found dead in some awful circumstance, and I acknowledge I don't therefore have the right to impose anything on Al 'for his own good', but it doesn't stop me from wanting to.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
