His counselor, who was strictly AA by the book also taught him that whatever he did was in isolation and had no affect on anyone else and if they told you it did, they were just being "co-dependent." Which I think is a crock of B.S.
I drank by myself and lived by myself. My daughter is 26 and being that she didn't live with me I figured it wouldn't affect her. Yes, it did affect her even with her not living with me. Affected her, my son-in-law, granddaughter, friends, work etc.
