    Keep it simple. Don't drink, NO MATTER WHAT! You were that way cause you are an alcoholic. For now, that's all you need to know. The only thing you can do that can influence her is what you need to...

    If your husband says he loved you when he was acting out, he is not lying. Addicts make choices in the pursuit of their "fix" that they would never make if not for the addiction. The secret life of a...

    First, congrats to her on the 45 meetings. That IS significant. I know she is hearing it from others in the program, but if possible, tell her I said congrats. Don't feel like you have to be her...

    Tover, I'm a sex and love addict, married (barely), but sober for 14 months. I'm also a long time AA member. The 12 step approach to recovery from addiction can be difficult to grasp without help....
