ahcb- Well I think it is a dis service to paint a completley rosey picture of the AA and alanon program. Cheating does go on - more so because you have emotionally sick people finding comfort wiith other very sick people- all with a common problem to discuss. I wish some alanon had warned me that the alcoholic can get hooked on the program itself- one addiction for a another- although AA would be the better choice by far. You can't die going to AA but you can wreak your family life by forsaking your family for the AA family group. And yes this certainly does happen. dax
