O know you don't want to hear from me. BUT My answers to your previous post about how you felt were predicated on what I knew at the time I did not have any of this information that you are posting now....

Based on this new data I do understand your feelings and I absolutely understand where that can lead...I have been around the AA program for about 36 years now and have seen and heard many many sad tales including from my own head/mouth when I lost my wife to breast cancer and was diagnosed with bladder cancer myself.. I also know that a lot of users/drinkers will in fact use any excuse that comes up .. I live by the fact that "if you will drink over anything you will drink over anything...

I am sorry that you are going through all this crap,I have been there too and sometimes it does in fact take hard truth to get home to someone,I have lost many friends over my time around the program a couple of them I may have helped by telling it like it is rather than try to soft peddle the problem..If being an asshole then I will wear that title with pride if it saves a life... no one is in AA loking for pals they are trying to live rather than die

P.S it is Timewas not timewise best thing for you if you don't want to see this stuff from me is use the "ignore" feature, But do know a little about where you are coming from whether you believe that or not...

P.P.S I sincerely hope that it comes out better for you in the end..
