I had a terrible fight with my AHsober whom I am separated from (his choice). And of course I took it out on everyone at work. I knew I needed a meeting. This was on Mon and Alanon was on Tues and 30 miles away. So I went to the local open AA meeting Mon night. It was the best thing that I could of done for myself. I felt an immediate sense of relief and acceptance. I shared my awareness of my arrogance towards this disease. And it helped me put the focus on myself and not my AHsober.
I'm glad you went to the AA meeting and had a positive and supportive experience. It's difficult to recognize our arrogance and when we're projecting our anger or difficulties on to others. It sounds like by being open to this, you were able to find peace on Monday.
there are two types of meetings for partners of alkys the ones where they practice the steps and look at their part in it all and the ones who stay sick and blame the alky, sounds like your on the right right track.
I agree with Robert in finding two types; the ones who focus on themselves and their part in the dysfunction, and their part in the recovery,, and the ones who focus on the 'A' and stay sick themselves. There are also 2 kinds of AA meetings,,, ones that stay in the first 3 STeps, and ones who do them all.
love in recovery,
amanda
