I don't have a lot of tolerance for people who have been around AA for years and can't stay sober because (I don't know if anyone else has noticed this) when they share, they tend to go on and on about the 'program' and how it is helping them, then admit to drinking like it's raining outside. I.e. it was only a little drink but my daughter, she's just terrible bringing her boyfriend round and I'm trying to be tolerant etc..
To be completely honest I get quite annoyed and don't listen, I just tune out. I am saying this with a lady who is in my area, in mind, and she's been round longer than me and has never been able to stay sober, and talks about relapsing like it is 'no big deal'.
I suppose I am of the attitude, as dramatic as it is, that last time I checked drinking kills alcoholics.... nothing little about that!!!
