Hi Chriss: I spent a ton of time reading in the alcoholics forum when I first got here. I found it to be an incredible help because I needed to open my eyes to the truth. I credit a lot of the stories I read with helping me understand I could help or fix no one but myself. I also credit it with helping me understand that another human being was not worth my own life. I gave until I was skin and bones, literally, with my xabf. That is no way to live.
Take your time with it. There is a benefit. Hugs!
