I completely agree. With no disrespect to the many programs, ultimately you have a life to lead and you need to learn to deal with your responsibilities at home. What i am suggesting is there is a place for growth, but there is also the practical application of the skills you are learning.

Are you scared to spend a couple of nights a week with your family? Perhaps you could go to an AA online meeting after they re in bed?
