Catty 1 - I don't attend the AA meetings, I just know the people who run them as we meet at the same workplaces often....this is what they tell people who keep trying to help alcoholics..." It is their problem and don't make it yours or you are enabling them".
As for the medical books I've got my nose buried in them most of the day so I know what they say about alcohol and drug abuse, then there are the books on the other side of that fence....
Candace - thank you. I, too, am an alcoholic. My father, his father and his brother all died from alcoholism; I almost did too. 22 years later I still attend AA meetings regularly and am very active in service.
Shepgirl, you might want to check out some Al-Anon meetings. ;)
My hat goes off to all of you recovering alcoholics. This is such a major accomplishment. I hope you're all very proud of yourselves becase I'm sure proud of all of you.
Red-Hedd...I don't have to check them out. My best buddy works there and holds the meetings which I helped set up. I've talked loads of people into joining for their own good . I still do, always will while I can. Just because I don't drink doesn't mean I don't help out.
