Well, our definition of alcoholic is different (huge suprise). I also have dealt with alcoholics who are sweet as pie even when drunk, but they still NEED to drink.
Alanon does help others learn how to deal with the effects of someones drinking and that is why I think it might be helpful.
Gosh, golly, our definition of gaslighting is also different. I guess using Holly Ann's definition, we are all guilty of doing it as well as victims of it, because we express our differing perspectives on a situation...
Autumn,
You are doing great not allowing your anger to fuel your choices. Anger should always be used as a shield and not a sword.
"Acceptance doesn't mean resignation. It means understanding that something is what it is and there's got to be a way through it."--Michael J. Fox
