Thanks Gardener,Of course you're right. I need perspective. I'm planning on joining an Al-anon group.
For more insight, you might want to look at the book Rational Recovery by Jack Trimpey. Different approach. Worked immediately for me. Not a one-day-at-a-time approach. Rather Starting-today-and-forever. Not forever on-going recovering. Recovered. Period. (though I over simplify)Higher success rate than AA. But, your call, of course.
