To those of you who were in the MIP chat room last night (you know who you are ), Thanks! As is usually the case, when we are hearing what we don't want to hear (but we already know), I got mad last night and left. But after sleeping on it, I know it's time for some "tough love" with my alcoholic. Because I love him, I'm not going to "help" him any longer. He is a big boy now and it's time for him to grow up and face the music, so to speak, of his choices.
I finally recognise that even though he is not drinking anymore, he is still a "dry drunk" as he is not in any kind of program and/or counseling. He (like me) is still doing what he has always done and expecting different results, and we all know that is the definition of insanity.
For me, I choose to not participate in that insanity anymore. Thanks guy's of the midnight hour MIP chat room for helping me (by not helping me ) realize that. Cudos to you for working your program. That's what keeps me "coming back".

Glad to hear you are hearing things that are helping you grow in your program. My sponsor meeting was like that tonight and it is hard to make the changes, but I am now that I am aware. Sending you love and support!
