Hey Guys
I deal with Bipolar 1 depression & I do go to 12-step meetings as there was a huge problem with alcoholism & drug addiction within my stepfather's family. I feel that I'm literally punishing others due to alcohol being at family parties & I walk out because of the possibility that I'm witnessing the same thing in other family members in the Phoenix area. I've been in 2 different groups for 17 & 16 years concurrently & another for 2 1/2 which have helped but am I carrying this too far ? I am greatful for my groups but fear I'm punishing other family members because of wanting nothing to do with alcohol.
