Hi Kiya,
I think possibly your alter would like to go to a meeting.
Less intimidating and hierarchical than the MD... what does she think? river

Heh - my Dean asked me this just tonight. I told her that I (kiya) had actually driven us to a meeting. And she (the drinking alter) drove us home.

Which sort of answers your question, BMOZ, about forever giving up drinking... am I, Kiya, willing? Yes. Is the alter? No. She hasn't had this much pull around this issue in 10 years. Tonight, my Dean and I had tea while sitting at the bar of a country restaurant.... and i could feel the alter, staring up at those shining, shimmering bottles like my Labrador would at a steak. It was a tough one on her, I know. But we only had tea.
