Alcoholics Anonymous saved my life. I resisted going to an AA meeting for years due to my preconceived ideas about what it was like. When I finally hit my own rock bottom I allowed my wife to contact AA for me (I could not do it still) and a member met me and took me to my first meeting – a lovely lady. Something happened in that first meeting and I identified with everything that everybody shared. I did not take a drink again – one day at a time. For an alcoholic “one drink is too many and 100 are not enough”. I hope it works for him. For yourself maybe get in touch with Alanon – an organisation for friends and families of alcoholics. You can go to your own meetings – regardless of whether the alcoholic goes to his. “An alcoholic is like a tornado, roaring his way through other’s lives”. Good luck to you both xx
