2nd Thread - After almost 1 year, I keep going

[BklynMom]

I think the prozec (40mm) I am on helps with my anger and also as many Alanon meetings a week as I can make. Alanon teaches me how to deal with life.

This might sound insane but I never knew that if someone asked me for a favor I didnt need to respond immediately. i could say something like "I will get back to you". Other simple things like not doing everything for everyone. Alanon teaches me. Going easy on myself.

It helps me handle little situations so I dont blow them out of proportion.

Alanon meetings are mostly woman. Many of the woman have control and anger issues. Also no one at Alanon appears to have a honky dory life so its easier to be open with them.

I am the adult child of an alcoholic, and my H has some sort of issue with drinking but even if you see no direct link to a drinker in your life I would highly recommend going to a couple of meetings. It may be for you. It is certainly a place to meet other woman going through tough times.

I have also stopped drinking myself. I never thought I had a issue with drinking but even a glass or two of wine a night will make me crabby in the morning and right now I need to be Super Bklyn.

My prescription: Prozec, Alanon, No Alcohol.

You are doing amazing. Keep it up, KG
