Family Week

In my first days with the Fellowship, I heard a lot about alcoholism being a family disease, and my sponsor suggested Al-Anon for my wife. That didn't work out, and about eight months later we divorced. I had a lot of anger and resentment at that time; in fact, I was furious. I raged around the house. It was at this point that a teenager (not my own) gave me some really excellent advice: "Why don't you just treat this matter like a gentleman?" After the shock wore off, I heeded the advice and it made a lot of hard things bearable. I also figured I had some amends to consider.
