Today I read in one of the posts a comment from a member that really struck a chord with me. I am paraphrasing, because I cannot find the quote now, but it was something to the effect of, I no longer get upset if my A drinks because it may be this drink that brings him to his bottom. I really liked that. I hope I can remember it and not get tensed out and crazy when I see the bottles. I can simply hope that this is the drink that he has right before he hits the bottom and realizes he needs a new way of coping with life.
And if it's not that drink I can learn a way to be okay. Such a program. Such a process.

Found it!!! " Every drink the alcoholic takes is one step closer to their bottom...let them gave the drink and suffer consequences of it...Have another drink, I do not care..." It's in the "Focus" post on the first page of the message board by joker.
