My Ego Was Supreme

I AM the wife of an alcoholic. At one time I would not admit to myself or anyone else that my husband could not drink like a gentleman. Since coming into AA, I have learned so many things that I cannot realize that it has been such a short time. At first I counted days of sobriety; then weeks of sobriety. I started out trying to help my husband live the program. It did occur to me then that it was something I could use. In my supreme ego, I thought of myself as a very wonderful person for having put up with and having just lived in the same house with my husband.
