WHAT I LEARNED: I’ve always misinterpreted the title of this pamphlet to be “What Can You Do…” & I thought it would be chock-full of helpful tips, but now that I’ve read through the whole thing I think the title could be re-named: “Crazy Things You Do to Control the Alcoholic.” It’s a list of 63 strategies & techniques that only succeed in destroying sanity. I was not prepared for its brutal honesty but it gave me a new insight into myself. …Truth has a way of doing that.

Hi Pat!
Can you imagine it took me a stint to stay with my daughter before I could admit I had a problems with control. Denial iwa well. This is the horrific part of the disease.
Tahnk youf for your daily posting.
We all come to realizations our own ways & even though they may be painful moments, I’ve always experienced a “jump” in my recovery growth afterwards. As always, thank you for your input!
