I'm working on beating ANA into the ground bite by bite.
So you are dealing with ANA as well as alcoholism, a double whammy, on one hand the best way to deal with it is total abstainance and with the other controled intake!
I was kind of surprised to learn how many alcoholics in AA were also dealing with ANA, I learned this when my daughter went to treatment to deal with ANA. The ladies and 1 guy I know in AA that are dealing with ANA shared that they found dealing with ANA to be far easier by applying the same steps for alcoholism they worked in AA to dealing with ANA with minor modifications they learned in OA.
As with thier alcoholism they said that knowing they were not alone dealing with ANA and alcoholism made a world of difference.
Please keep your doctor informed of it all, and also keep in mind that you are not alone in dealing with both ANA & alcoholism.
