Three quick words in response to your last post to me; sorry, wow, and thank you.
MrBond,
My ignorance was that I thought al-anon was different than AA, and thus my wife's experience might be different than mine. This doesn't excuse me from taking your posts as a personal attack on me and I apologize for my response to you as well my bashing of AA.
SM34,
Thank you as well for your post. Humility is a problem that I know I have and actually have been consciously trying to work on, and I know that the majority of my problems (including the need to have more humility) is letting go of my pride.
All,
Once again, I apologize for bashing AA and basically being defensive about what you have posted in an attempt to help me.
Thank you and God bless
