A decade ago I tried AA and it didn't work because I wasn't willing to be open minded enough to work it. Now I go to AA every day and it has kept me sober for 8 months.
I know people who hove been in the program for 12 years and go to two meetings a day.
It's a place to make friends and, more importantly, to learn.
A decade ago, I didn't appreciate that alcoholism is a disease and to earn that definition it had to be progressive.
And it is. It only gets worse. Two bottles of wine? Me too. They were expensive. The cost me a career, a couple of houses, and a couple of wives. The service charge was the respect of my children.
Two bottles of wine just with a couple of shots thrown in just might be the definition of an alcoholic. As for your husband, maybe he's wrong about you. Has he been wrong before?

Hi DEb93 just checkin in on you, hoping you had a peaceful Friday nights and we are sharing Day Three today. I know how hard this is (at least it is for more), but staying close to the boards and feeling the support.
