However last night he said while he was at the AA meting, everyone had a horrible story as to why they chose alcohol, and he couldn’t relate. I still don’t think he sees himself as an alcoholic. One day at a time.
Oh it all looks and sounds so familiar. The blaming of others, the understating and minimizing, the "I'm different/better then these people." It doesn't sound to me like he's ready. If he can't see he's pushing his family away because of the drinking, he isn't ready.
