I was just thinking/wondering... isn’t there some kind of purification ritual the traumatized guy can do?
I knew a lady who was in AA for many years. Hadn’t touched a drink. Went to the ballgame, for some reason she offered to get us beers and hot dogs. One of the beers spilled a drop on her arm and with her hands full to she proceeded to lick it off. It was an “ooops” moment for her. She had to call her sponsor and go to an AA meeting to get blessed that it was OK and she didn’t lose her sobriety coin.
In Islam, everybody is supposed to adapt around you. That’s why in New York, where Muslims patrol their neighbourhood, they will burn down any liquor stores.
It isn’t enough for them to simply not buy alcohol. Whatever precepts they keep, everybody else is supposed to keep it was well.
