[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]have you tried Alanon?[/quote] OP here. Yes. I may need to try that again, but my challenge with Alanon meetings has been that the drinking behavior is not there now, but the "dry drunk" behavior is. I don't worry she will get get drunk and fall or crash or whatever. I worry about the lashing out and the general "more more more". The therapist I saw said it was a narcissistic personality disorder, and the AA meetings actually don't help the disorder (for people like her, not for everyone), they just create an environment where the craziness is reinforced, because as long as you don't have a glass of wine, you can be as terrible as you want. Other people who are in AA who "work the steps" have told me that this isn't what the program is supposed to do. You are supposed to keep growing as a person and evolve, but being "stuck" at the age you were when you started using alcohol as a crutch is pretty textbook. [/quote]
