Thanks all...and yes, IOAA, I am quite familiar with al-anon ...for my youngest daughter, but have now switched to nar-anon cuz now she is an addict. The steps are basically the same as AA, just substitute some words or drug of choice. Been through the steps in AA 3 times already...having, upon 3 occasions, many years of sobriety. Hawkeye...our stories sound like mirror images, but I think you know...my mother died from alcoholism (literally) at 72. Yes, the hard part is my husband has put up with me, when I have been MUCH worse....said HORRIBLE things to him, DID horrible things to him, yada yada....it is just so hard to see him drink SO much. Didn't used to be this way...of course he wasn't retired, either (we both retired at 55). Thanks for the congrats, DD...this time I am REALLY DONE
I am not going to care what anyone else does
