Hi Blender Girl 

That does describe my way of dealing with a problem before alanon.    I denied reality to myself, blamed the alcoholic and everyone else and never saw my part or how I could change

Awesome how that works.   I accused the A of lying (under the influence.)    I did it sober!!!  The symptons of this disease are certainly evident  in all who are in contact 

Thank God for alanon!!

Hello Blender Girl!

Thanks for that. OMG, I was such a LIAR! Seems funny to say that about myself, but I can see that the veil of denial allowed me to lie to myself all the time.

Now I can use the tools of alanon to try and see things as they are. Painful sometimes, but it allows me to grow.

Hugs, Rocky
