Lol this is sort of a weird topic haha I would ask her why she always does that.  Everyone has annoying little habits, but other people shouldn't necessarily have to put up with them.  My brother tells me all of the time when I'm doing something irritating.

I doubt a relationship can ever reach its full potential when centered around drugs and alcohol.  I think it's best to feel comfortable about that person because when you're doing things you don't feel comfortable with, then you'll end up spoiling the whole relationship and ruining something that could've been great.  And sometimes couples stick together just because of drugs and alcohol, they think they're happy together but they're really not.

That's really true, I can't stand being around negative people, it puts me in terrible moods.  Some of the most positive people are religious, but you have to remember we're all human and we all have our trials.  I feel like I've got through a lot of my tough times through prayer and it makes me feel a million times better when I know someone is praying for me too.

If you have kids and  you want them to watch less Tv, you could hide the remote :P  My brother did this more than once to keep the tv on what he wanted to watch.  Eventually I would get sick of it and find something better to do. :)

I think you might just have to let him realize by himself that he has a problem.  For some people it takes a lot longer, but give it time, maybe he just hasn't found his passion in life.  I know a lot of people that were like this and one day they decided to quit for good and that was it.
