First of all, Kudos to you for having the strength to post that. I am in the same boat: bipolar and alcoholic...
WOW.. that is the first time I've actually said or written it.
I refuse to admit to anyone that I have to deal with both of these and I always tell myself "no drinking during the week. I can imbibe on the weekends, it's okay than."
Guess what? It's Monday and I stopped by the store on the way home.... again...
It feels very over-bearing - it's like which one do I deal with first? HOW do I deal with them? And HOW did I end up like this? I, too, have been to AA and while I seemed to get something out of it at first, it grew annoying to me. I hope we can both find a will and a way....
