I went to the women's meeting last night at Maryann's and I had her check out this blog. It dawned on my that she had been a re-tread just once. But, her experience led her to the conclusion, without doubt, that she is definately an alcoholic. So I must remember that everyone gets "it" in their own time. My lesson is to not rob anyone of their own experience. It makes you stronger.
My father is an active alcoholic. I was talking to my half brother and he stated that he always cleans up "Dad's messes." A good example of robbing someone of their own experience. My brother was all proud that he did this for Dad and I just looked at him and said "Why do you do that?" Personally, in my opinion, Dad will hit bottom (or die) faster if he was to claim all responsibility for his actions. If you are an alcoholic reading this, you know the odds are not in his favor.
