Hi Blue,

This sounds a little like co-dependency to me, but I could be wrong. When I was attending CR meetings at a local Church there appeared to be a large number of people who wrestled with this.

You recognize this issue so that is an excellent step...

Thank you Icehouse. Did not realize this could be co-dependency. Will look it up.

Her car is gone today. This is her usual day to go to work. So, she appears to be functioning. But then when I was binge drinking, I worked full time and no one knew, because I drank at night alone. Stopped drinking May 1987. I never felt the need to attend AA groups, I did this all on my own.
