Since the Alcoholic moved in with his best friend he didn't bother me as much but I figured it was just a matter of time before they would have a fight. As predicted, their honeymoon phase didn't even last a month. Apparently he lost his apartment because his friend was secretly doing drugs in the shared kitchen. The Alcoholic lost his temper and got in a physical fight and yelling match which the landlord heard and gave them both a week to leave. The Alcoholic was probably drunk but of course denied it. It's a pattern. One that I'm feeling very glad to be distant from, even though we are communicating a bit. He found a new place which is more expensive and far away. The owner has a strict zero-alcohol policy. So that might help him, for a little while. Yesterday was the first day we talked in awhile and I already needed to meditate immediately afterward.
