Thanks to you. I read your post about being forced to drink the cognac recently and it moved me. So many are quick to judge but I admire your honesty and sense of perspective about the situation. The "my way or the highway" side of AA zealotry is galling.
I'm only in my fifth month and am hanging on tightly to my sobriety as drinking very nearly killed me last year. My fall from grace was ugly and public. For now, not drinking is the "easy" part. Learning to live with my past, coping with mental illness and facing my fears sober is where I am struggling. Staying sober is the only chance I have of friends and family restoring their faith in me.
