[QUOTE="kris, post: 23660, member: 74"] <span style="color: #663366">interesting that you should post this now. the part of the AA pledge about not having power over their disease has been running through my head for some reason this past week or so. the question that keeps running through my mind is if they don't have the power then who in the bloody he*l*l does? my husband has a long & bitter hx as an alcoholic. i've never been able to develop much faith in AA. i could go on & on as to why but it will only offend people so i won't. i never would have believed that husband would achieve a place of moderation, but it seems for the most part he has. he has made friends with-a group her in the complex. he spends every spare moment with-them when not directly involved with-family stuff or work. while they all drink he doesn't come home banging into the walls & reeking after spending time with-these folks. yes, it happens, but more & more infrequently. whatever influence they have over him the rest of us are appreciative of it. i can't address the issues of your husband's medications or the mania/depression that comes from the BiPolar (BP). as the wife of an severe drunk i can tell you i happily accept the moderation my husband seems to have found. it's all about what you can live with. kris </span> [/QUOTE]
