My thoughts on this......
HI CG -
I would give up chocolate forever ........if my AH invited me to hear him speak about his recovery ( or his alchoholism)
I think alot of us would...........
Let me put it this way...
If YOU were invited to speak about YOUR experiences with alchohol....and he said "No"
How would YOU feel......
Please do not be offended here.......but I think it may ALSO be YOU who is taking the "selfish me attitude" about this........
I may be wrong & it is egotistical of me to think that I know your entire situation & history
However.........
I think that ANY opportunity for sharing or support that a couple can provide eachother ..when it is about "getting better" ......should be grabbed at..........
Just my own opinion.....
