Calling AA members Nazis is a pretty sick thing to do in my opinion. I hope you're not Jewish.

Actaully Tinygecko, fair point.

Please accept my aplogies for also referring to the term used in the main post.

Big Book Bambi it is :)

I apologize Gecko. I didn't mean any offense to anyone. I wasn't thinking when I made that comment. You are right. I should not have made that reference. Dang wish I could edit a post.

I hope I didn't offend anyone else. "Nazi" is a common, even if derogatory term used to describe someone who is regimented and aggressive. I didn't mean harm.

HTL, you have to own your words here, and you've done that. We use Nazi's here, mainly to describe officers issuing parking fines. What may offend one, may not offend another, but we can be considerate of those it does offend. We don't know that until they tell us. In this case they have, and you've acknowledged that. No need to edit your words. It's all good mate. :}

"a convienent excuse to prevent" That is sooo freaking hilarious considering the people who view this post in that manner really have no idea what is going on with howto. She has struggled with getting a sponsor and trying to help her husband understand alcoholism. These are both two huge steps into her recovery. She has been to many meetings and been out with the Lady's for coffee many times.

You are right where you are supposed to be girl and don't let any one talking out of their ass tell you different. If is a great thing that you are taking him and hopefully this will bring better understanding for both of you. That is great and I know how much that means to you.

Oh and her sponsor and her sponsors best friend are the one's calling themselves nazi's FYI!!

Some people just love to feel superior.

I am a bit sensitive with that word. Am probably too German.HTL and I talked about it on messenger and it is all good.

A big SALUTE to you, because you're being very proactive and doing the required "stuff" for recovery. As long as you work this program, you'll see results. Sometimes, the results will come in small increments and you won't notice them right away, but they'll come.

i remember the rants and raves and being pissed off and look at this one thing. willingness. i am having such a painful day but reading this makes me feel so good and so right where i need to be. good luck and God bless....
