family members
Hi all,
I went to another AA meeting. I thought it was useful. Things are going well, but it's frustrating that my wife doesn't agree that I need to be there. She grew up in a place where alcoholism is very common, and although she doesn't drink much, she thinks that I'm "being too hard on myself" and that I don't have a problem.
I disagree. And the more I talk to other people with drinking problems the more I'm sure that I shouldn't drink. My doctor told me to quit. My wife thinks that my doctor is too quick to diagnose alcoholism.
Just because I've never been arrested and have a job doesn't mean there's no problem...
She's not trying to get me to drink, but it really frustrates me that I have to have a minor argument with her about this. I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm a little surprised and extremely frustrated.
Anyway, I'm on day 131 and I don't plan on breaking it.
Anyone else have this experience?
