jennie...
i couldn't agree more! i've been reading there for a few days now... not only to get the other perspective on (my) alcoholism, but because i am the sister of two alcoholics and the daughter of two alcoholics.
i'm a bit too new in my recovery to deal with the FFA aspect right now... i need and want to work my own recovery first... but it is beyond helpful (even through the pain some of those threads ignite in me) to be able to read there.
the contributions of experience, strength and hope (as well as all the ache we share and the humor) on this entire forum is a gift. thanks everyone!
