P.s. I can be an ******* sometimes, so feel free to tell me when you think I'm manifesting my assholiness.
I'll take you up on that.
This is a Friends and Family of Alcoholics forum, not an Al-anon forum. There are many forms of recovery, and Al-anon is only one of them. What works for you, doesn't necessarily works for other.
And what you wrote the other day:

Is also a little pretentious of you. There isn't really anyway you can guarantee that what worked for you will work for someone else.
I stopped going to Al-anon after 5 meetings, because it wasn't giving me anything. I really don't think it's the worst decision of my life, I'm doing pretty well without it, thank you.
