hey tnt, I think it's sad how AA is pushed on people, like courts ordering it. I've had both my older kids in rehab & AA was forced, getting a sponsor was forced, quitting their benzo & AD (which our pdoc said is inhumane & criminal negligence if we wanted to deal with suing) cold turkey was forced. I feel like they aren't equipped to deal with MI.

I went to Alanon for awhile & everyone was talking about how they thought they were "crazy" until they realized they were co-dependent. I swear that was said so often. I took it to heart, I felt so alone there & like I must be bad for truly being crazy since I have bp. I didn't tell anyone about my bp, which was actually the bigger issue than being codependent.

My daughter had found a night time beach out doors meeting that she likes. It's more casual and like a hang out with discussions. I honestly don't think she'll work the steps or find a true sponsor, but I'm happy for her finding sober friends. Praying it'll help her stay off the heroin & pot.
