Should I do research??
Well I know eventually I should, but I have a spouse who thinks because he has sat through training for his job on addiction that he knows about my disease. I'm an alcoholic and an addict and while he understands that it is a disease there is so much he doesn't understand. I cannot force him to go to alanon or narcanon but if I read more about it..is it possible that I could gently pass him information. Seriously I am eligible for alanon as my father is an active alcoholic himself and my birthfather (I was adopted as a toddler) was an addict an an alcoholic and died of his disease.
I don't want to take from my recover and working my AA/NA steps and working my program, but I do wish to help my husband if I can. His recovery is not my responsiblity, but I am hoping I can help him understand my disease. I know I can't force it, but what do others do?
