to all the As that reply
 

To all of the Alcoholics that reply to some of our posts--let me say a big--thank-you---It helps in maby ways for us friends and family member to understand more about what is going on with our loved ones....please keep it up!!!

I agree and always appreciate views from the "other" side. It has helped me to be more compassionate about my AH's disease and his progress and failures in recovery.

I appreciate these posts also !

And congrats to all for whatever day sober they are on!

Absolutely!!! Me TOO!

Same here!! :-)

As a RA myself I would like to say that I am so thankful to hear your side. It has helped me so much to understand what my h is going through right now.
I don't know what I would do without you guys.

i thank you, too- it can feel very lonely/desperate wanting to understand something you haven't experienced, and it means a lot to hear the other perspective.

Alot of us A's are double winners...codies too. Even with the knowledge of my own disease, I can still go totally off my nut about my exAbf's behaviour etc...that's when my ego is holding court. I know better...but it still hurts. I can still give in to my inner petulant child wanting what I want right now. When it gets right down to it...my relationship with my ex became simply a battle of "wills". It took 3000 miles between us for me to surrender to "goodbye".

Me being a light weight A, (high bottom drunk) I too want to thank all the A's that come and reply.

Good thread frizzylynn, Thank you

Another double winner here. Sober 2.5 years, codie my whole life LOL! Being engaged to a recovering A I have to man both sides of the fence!

Hugs,
Kellye

Thanks from me too!!!
