Love that term "the little big house." Sounds like you've got a good bead on how to teach him: let him experience the consequences of his own choices. There are those who can learn from the mistakes of others. Most of us need to make our own mistakes. The lessons are clearer that way. That-a-boy, Chris. Show him just how "cool" you are.

Sponsees are great. they are crazy but they are invigorating and fascinating. I always learn cool stuff from them. there are so many talented, interesting people out there who can do everything else but stop drinking! So yeah its a great journey. I always get something of value from the arrangement, even if they test my patience to its limits occasionally.. :) all sounds very promising! Sounds cool.

THAT'S unmanageability. I also thought jail was akin to death. But what I thought the worst thing was that every happened to me turned out to be one of the best things. Life is like that. Hope Zach "gets it." At least you know to be there for him to turn to but not get in the way of his journey. (Sponsors are just reps for something a lot bigger.)
