cathy, thanks for your words. i'm a little worried, though, because i went to three meetings and was really turned off by it (i know you are supposed to go to at least six before you decide). unless i missed the point, it seemed like they were advocating just getting thru each day, ignoring the alcoholic, and focusing on fixing your own character defects. that's great, but coming from a low, beated down place, i don't want to look for the worst in myself right now; i need support. also, as a guilty catholic, type a kind of person, i feel like i beat myself up pretty well on my own. i know i'm probably an enabler, codependent, etc. and i'm trying to learn more about those things. i just feel that if you have to struggle to get through each day, what kind of life is that? it just didn't seem very empowering to me, but again, that's just me.
