Well I must say that this week has been a pretty good one for me and the AW.  Tuesday night she went to bed early and I stayed up some and watched some TV.  My 23 year old daughter called to check on our grandson, who was also sleeping.  I had discussed the alcohol use with her mother a while back.  Sadly I should've known better then because my daughter while she is on her own still has a LOT of growing up to do and has always been her mother's daughter. 

I must say though that I am proud of my comments to the daughter.  She asked me how her mother's drinking was going and I gave the following reply: "I guess ok.  That's her problem, not mine and I have other things in MY life that I need to be concerned over."  After a slight pause my daughter started talking about something else.  I think that surprised my daughter.  I know anything I say to her goes back directly to my wife.  Even two days later I am very encouraged by my reply.  I know I have more progress to make but having this attitude with my daughter puts me more on the track of worrying less about her and more about me.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day.
