My daughter had every right to be able to express herself via text a few weeks ago telling her dad to get right with God. His drinking had nothing to do with what was on her mind or the message she was trying to convey.
No, we are not going to any AA meetings and while they may be good for some people, my kids would never attend. I come from a family who drank as did my father and he did some things that H never did while drunk but he later in life cut way back on his drinking. Some people find AA type stuff as New Agey while others find that faith in God is best and take what the Bible says to heart where it puts down doctors and lawyers to an extent to solve problems. THis would be my family's way of thinking.
H drinks at night, not before or during work and he certainly does not go searching cupboards for it either. If it is available, he buys it and drinks it.
His behavior is more in line with MLC then that of an alcoholic.
