Not the only crazy!
I have been to three al anon meetings in the past four days. I see some of the same people at the meetings. I hear behaviors that I have committed. Not sure why, but it helps to know I'm not the only one.
To those of you struggling....
You are not the only person who enables an addict even when you think you are doing what is best your family.
You are not the only person trying to control how much, or how often your A drinks.
You are not the only person to hide car keys, pour out alcohol, search for the hidden bottles, count the empties.
You are not the only person to think your A's drinkng can be solved if you try harder, if you give them better logic, if you do SOMETHING they will get better.
The only person I can control is me. It starts with me and ends with me. I am learning. I am learning; to listen, to share, and to be grateful.
Thank you SR for your support.
