This is a vent
I have tried to do something over this. Mr X miuses his Rxes. I'm trying to ignore it. Please don't tell me not to. He screams and yells if I say the mildest thing or concern. I'm trying to keep my mouth shut for my own mental health. I feel like I'm watching show motion suicide. I've written down the local funeral information for quick reference. I want a cheap cremation.
I'll have to tell his stupid family what he did, when he dies. And he smokes.

I've been in AA since 2008 and in the beginning I went to Alanon as well with my AA sponsor, since that's where she started. It's for family and friends of alcoholics, but the longer I'm in AA the more people I meet are cross addicted. One of my good AA friends had the same problem. Both she and her husband got sober after joining AA, but she couldn't live with him anymore since he continued abusing his prescriptions. And they have a daughter, a teenager at the time, and when my friend went back to school the poor girl was scared to death if she found her father passed out on the floor or if he drove when she knew he shouldn't. He totaled their car and his mother's. Here's a link to Alanon meetings if you'd like to give them a try, I found them very welcoming and supportive.

And Alanon is always there if you decide it could help.

She needed OA and my issue was just the opposite - when I drank, I didn't eat though I continued to cook every night. My weight got so low that I was threatened with hospitalization. I had to learn to eat normally again and OA was very helpful for me. And we also used the AA Big Book, substituting the word "alcohol" with "food." I've learned that many women in AA who drank when they cooked still have trouble being in the kitchen, like my sponsor, but I'm fortunately not one of them. This April it will be 15 years for me. 
It took me awhile, but I found the right AA sponsor - or rather she found me. She knew that I had no clue what to do, so she took me to meetings, introduced me to helpful others and, most important, stuck with me. And I will always be grateful to her. 
These addictions are part of living through hell. We need each other to get through life.
Yes, we need each other ...One Day At A Time. ........Thank You Again. ....
Went to a meeting tonight which was compromised of a number of long timers as well as a few new joins. And I have never forgotten what that's like, wondering if I'd ever make it, but I had an amazing sponsor who stuck with me, told me what to do, and was the best example I could have had. The topic tonight was spirituality - it's not something that I can define, but I feel it when I'm at a meeting and I'm always reassured that I'm going to make it when I feel the power of the rooms. And I try to pay that forward since I had such a great example.
