So I went to a meeting tonight and there was a guy there...

[flex]

...who was drunk.  I mean drunk like you could totally smell it  on him.  And all he kept talking about was his drunk wife and "what can I do about her???"

lol The insanity of alcoholism never ceases to amaze me.

Yikes! Is there a protocol for that? Like if you want to be sober you need to come sober?

Non-sober people are not turned away but there isn't a lot of effort spent convincing them they have a problem.  lol  They need to show up sober for that.

The only requirement for AA membership is a desire to quit drinking. Sounds like just his wife had the problem, anyway. LOL

It's laughable, but at the same time it's so sad.  Hopefully I'll see him at tomorrow night's meeting...sober.

I remember going to NA in Utah and there were two girls there, claiming a sobriety date of a month or two. They were so high. Like. Honey, I just quit using meth (again) and you are tweaking so hard it's laughable. But they were so adamant and even spoke about sobriety. I guess if you're gonna pretend, stick with your story and go all out?
