I don't know how else to say this other than it's working! Last Wednesday night she had her work Christmas party. They were drinking at her table and she couldn't take it. SHe didn't drink during the dinner, but she didn't make it home either. (27th day of sobriety) She stopped at three gas stations and three bottles of wine later, from what she remembers, she passed out in her car in a parking lot. Where am I going with this? I was content during her absence..... ok I'm lying I just wasn't crazy! I read my al-anon meditation books, prayed (alot!!!) and went to bed. No it wan't serenity that I achieved by any means it was just I was able to keep a grip of my sanity. and that is progress for me. I thank you all, I thank the program and I especially thank my HP who held me through that night.

That IS progress! I also need proof to know it works if you work it and I will never forget how it felt to "survive" a crisis without turning into a red faced raging lunatic or a broken down crying heap of fear. It works. best wishes for continued peace.
