It sounds to me like you're being dominated, mfrankl. It's interesting that the quote is addressing the alcoholic, but the exact same solution works for the spouses of alcoholics as well.
It's also interesting that this section in the book comes up in taking a fearless inventory
of ourselves. As long as I'm looking outside myself as the source of my dis-satisfaction, I continue to be dominated by those other people. It's only when I take that inventory of
myself, that I get some freedom from that.
Paradoxical, but works like a charm.
