she just has to stir the pot....drives me crazy... I mean john gets drunk...he sulks..he is a mess..... so she starts trying to manage him..how to get him sober..he gets worse...she gets worse... When john decides to stop, she comes back...freaks out at him somemore and gets the whole thing going again. she doesn't get that she can't get him or keep him sober...i mean the whole deal to me is...alchoholics sometimes end up drinking...sometimes they drink themselves to death........If you're gonna stay you just gotta accept that it is thier choice...do what you need to to feel ok with yourself and the situation....if you cant do that then you need to get the fk out.....simple... I have put some alchoholics out of my life because their behavior is not something i am willing to tolerate as part of my life. Other alchoholics i love dearly and i simply enjoy the time we have together and do what i need to do to be ok with me when they are wondering hoplessly on thier own path...it's not my job to fix them or to tolerate intolorable behavior... She just trys to get everyone going 50 ways at once to try and save her or him or whoever....its like she thrives on the attention .... I hate it! I see no point in trying to control an alchoholic, I don't feel the need to coddle them (well not much or often..sometimes that one i don't do so well at), but ranting and raving is just pointless.... OK..sorry...i really needed to get that out and i know that you guys are my friends and i want you to know what is going on (hug) I care a bunch about all of you (hug)

I always liked Rambling Jack Elliot's version the best, never cared for Dillon's...but this one might just give Jack a running  YouTube - Don't Think Twice, It's All Right good morning

As you know I do meetings as well as SR...my life is pretty full, but because those 2 things seem to work for me I have to be sure that both are happening. So, due to a situation that is going on right now, I wasn't able to go to a meeting since Saturday and so it will have been a whole week between meetings. And with the extra things going on, itis really important i get to two a week despite scheduling issues...i just didnt' put the effort into it to go to a different meeting this week. time away from the alchohol does make it easier to be able to mess up a little here and there, but the more times you do it...the more you start to think it's ok to mess up a little more.... And early on it was very critical that i stick with a fairly constant source of support daily. Tomarrow i start my walking plan which will take up about 2 hours a day don't know where i'll find the time but i will....and if my schedule is still gonna be odd...I will select some differnt meetings to attend to be sure i get my 3 a week wich seems to be working well with an occational only 2. One mtg a week isn't gonna cut it when things are wild...What kind of commitments has everyone had to make besides the primary commitment to stay sober no matter what (cause no matter what happens)? Seems to me i have to makes some commitment to things that will make my commitment to stay sober easier.

I lead a disgustingly commitment free life Nands LOL so I'm not much help really. No need to answer this if you don't wanna, and I'm not pooh poohing it - but what do you get out of meetings Nands - is it the tangible sense of support/community or something more than that? Just never been - wondered D

well...at its best what i get is i guess: people who are all struggling with life and alchoholism...and who have found a way to talk about it and share and support each other (like at SR) people who share a comon set of tools to work through life ... the steps (which i have found most people at sr end up doing although they don't call them the steps necessarily) (remember dee..you'r the best AAer I know )And yes...real hugs and real faces and i can see their tears and hold their hands...i am a pretty touchy person...I may be a little frightening to my SR friends when i visit A topic is brought up, and people each have a turn to share..no one gets to talk twice..yu share your thoughts and expereincees once in that moment and then move on..no arguing no comeing back to fix anything...and the people do not get to tell you what is wrong with you. People who notice when you come and when you dont and who will call you or come to your door or hunt you down at work just to say hi...not to harrass you back to meetings. people suffering from the same human delimas and working through it as best they can. compasion, joy and suffering...and love. I find most of the same things here, but then i choose to share my real name, my phone number and all that stuff with people i grow close to on SR. I take a chance cause it's worth it to form a bond with my fellow humanbeings. Anyhow thats stuff i find in my AA group of friends and home group right now...and when it is at it's best...being human we have all the icky stuff too, but because i am forced to deal with it i get to learn how to deal with "real life outside the rooms" issues in a slightly easier to learn in environment. I like the way the sharing is in AA...I stay away from groups that tell you what you have to do to get what they have and gravitate to those that tell how they do things and encourage you to find your path. And few people make the mistake of walking across the room to tell me waht is wrong with me....but most will express concerns in a loving caring matter..or at least reall ytry to long answer sorry dee
