Pick-a-name

Thank all. Yes; trying to work on myself; Al-anon and readings,etc and their related forums,etc. We family members have relapses,too. And they sound just as painful,etc. I appreciate all your good advice. Yes; I have just recently really begun to re-do those first steps.....be willing to do what I need to do to get myself in a healthier place. I guess; it is probably like your program......I just have to "detox" my thinking, our "physicl withdrawl" is real,too...and also very painful.

Best wishes to us ALL!

Good topic though!!

I couldn't have quit for someone else, no matter how much I loved them. I don't blame anyone else for my drinking though. It's all on me.

Did I choose drinking over family? Of course. I was an active alcoholic. I had to get sober for myself and now try to repair the damage I wrought.

Does not developing relationships only in part because you would rather drink so therefore never even comming close to having one count? To be fair in my case it isn't all alcohols fault probably less than a quarter alcohol mostly just me and my personal quirks.
