like...how manipulative are these people?! When I realised that I needed some serious help with this disease, I went to the library and took out "The Dilemma of the Alcoholic Marriage". Inside was a little label stating that this book had been donated to the library by the local Al-Anon group. there were some phone numbers and also info. about when the meeting was - every Monday at 7.45pm, it said. So I had this book at home by the bed. Suddenly when I came home from work on Mondays, he was always sober! Hey, I was so happy that I didn't go to the meetings. Then I started to wonder...why is he sober on Mondays only? Oooooooooooo, I get it, he saw the label inside the book and decided he'd distract me and make happy one night a week - a Monday, as it happens. Of course, he was drunk as a skunk every other night of the week. So sod him, I'm going to my first meeting this coming Monday whether he likes it or not. HA! |
HA! Good for you! Hugs, Smoke |
Amazing how smart they can be about their stupidity, huh? Good for you- don't let him stop you. |
Smart gal! |
Hurrah for you! And by the way, its a terrific book. It helped me understand a LOT, actually more about ME than about HIM. I hope you enjoy the meeting. HUGS Barb |
I think you should add a label to the front of the book, saying that due to the interest shown, meetings are now being held each night ! Ha Ha ! HUGX Lee |
As Santa would say... ..HO HO HO to that one, Lee! Thanks for your encouragement guys - the meeting is tonight (NZ time zone) and I'M GOING TO GO. As the wee train said, I think I can I think I can I think I can..... |
:) :) In answer to your question they are VERY manipulative! Ngaire |
I want to go to meetings, but I don't trust mine home with the kids. I swear mine must think I am blind, have no sense of small, or am just too stooopid to know what is going on! Marie |
