Al-anon never even occurred to me until I read about it in this post. Silver and I have agreed that at least I should pursue it.

I'll take your word for that Wahine

The first post offered incredible insight and hope.
BUT, the second post
was personal and even the constructive parts seemed to come out of a contrary interpretation to what I previously said.
I don't have a problem with the tone; my issue is with
what was said (at the risk of being accused of being in
denial after considerable self-reflection


)...but everyone's entitled to their opinions.
It seems that there are many who have viewed this thread and shared that they have in the past or are currently facing similar challenges. Notwithstanding a little controversy, I hope that this has been a bit edifying to the group...it has been useful to me. Thanks.

NOW, let's ride (despite snow here last night!)
