Strangely enough he didn't say a single thing about it.
It's like he doesn't care, or it's not important to him, or he just wants us to get on with our lives.
[If Lucifer seems to be pressing the point it's because he feels that this is what he's been saying all this time.]

[ You're not my real mom. ]
Then what would you choose? I would choose to continue my behavior and hope for the best, just as you can turn away and hope for the best as well.

I assumed you had already married it. You might have invited me.

[W H Y??
W H Y?????!!!
W H Y?!?!?!?!?!?!]
What was the point of telling me about your two weeks sober if you aren't going to be serious about getting help? If you can't take something as important as your own health so seriously I wonder you even bother.

[ BECAUSE THE SITUATION NEEDS HUMOR, ENJOLRAS. But fine, okay, okay, okay, okay. ]
Do you know how long I've been an alcoholic?
Do you know how long I've been an alcoholic?
Longer. Nearly ten years. You haven't even seen me at my worst.
[Enjolras tries to imagine worse. He doesn't like it.
Also christ, how much money has R poured down the drain on alcohol over those years? How can a man waste that much of his life on alcohol and misery??]
Then show me your best. Two weeks into sobriety after that long can't be pleasant, but it can't last forever either.
[That's logical. Also google says it can't last and until the med student texts him back he'll believe it.]

[ It was worse before he met his friends, with a particularly rough patch after his realization that art school wasn't ever going to work out for him. Maybe if he'd applied himself better.
It's been a lot of money. If he had saved that money instead, he probably wouldn't be too poorly off right now. ]
What if two weeks is my best? No one shows disappointment quite like you, Enjolras. I hadn't intended on telling you for that reason. Not until I reached a month, which seems impossible, might I add.

[The texts to both Courf and Ferre are increasing exponentially. I feel I'm out of my depth and Honestly how did he live like that and Are both of you fucking dead??]
Given the number of former alcoholics alive and well in the world today that seems improbable. Also, if you weren't going to tell me why did you just tell me?

[ Clearly all your friends are dead and not texting and all you have left is Grantaire, Enjolras. Better get used to him. ]
I did say I was miserable, and nothing else was holding my attention long enough to keep my mind from straying back to the wine. What miracles a long conversation can perform. I needed to tell you something worthwhile.

[that throws him.
why did he need to tell him something worthwhile??]
Do you have alcohol in your apartment? You should go to someone else's place, or somewhere you can't buy wine.

[ If the conversation had been dropped after three texts, he would have a bottle in his hand right now. Being able to focus on something else for an extended period of time helps significantly. Helps a bit more that it's Enjolras, too. ]
I’ve poured it all out, sick as it makes me to admit it. That was good wine. But I still know every bar, pub and ale house in this city. I live within walking distance of three. Joly and Bossuet are within walking distance of another. Bahorel lives above a liquor store, the lucky bastard. I've tried to bribe him to swap flats with me more than once. That's those three off the table. As Courfeyrac and Combeferre are both most certainly dead and Feuilly and Jehan are both most certainly asleep, only you and Marius were left.
And you wonder why I struggle.
[ Life is hard. ]

[He really only has to think about it for a moment.]
If you're serious about it, come to my place. Two weeks progress shouldn't be thrown away because you didn't have the presence of mind to get help earlier.
[He has no idea where the closest liquor stores are to him, but he has every confidence in his ability to talk someone out of leaving to buy alcohol.]
