Hi everybody, and thank you so much for all your answers!

I have a big test tonight, so I can't write much right now, but I'll be back!

Somebody asked why it is bad for my husbands career if he joins AA...
Well, success in the Army depends a lot on what peolple think of you. And going to AA is, I guess, a confession of you having personal problems... Many people in the Army are alcoholics. It's sad, but the military encourages you to drink.
Many (especially single soldiers) spend every night getting drunk.
Maybe other people made different experiences in the military, but that's the "Army world" in know.

I asked my husband if he can't join a civilian AA group, but he doesn't want to.
When I told him that I had talked to the Lady from AA, he said that she would tell me anything to make me believe he is an alcoholic...!

Well, I have to go now. But thank you so much for your support!
