Al-Anon

I'd never been to an Al-anon meeting my entire life. Never thought I needed to.

I don't recall this occurrence, but apparently when I was fairly young, perhaps freshly entered into the double-digits of birthdays, I told my therapist at the time that I wished my father would stop drinking. Alcohol was always present. And for the record, my dad wasn't a mean drunk. Didn't get violent (although I got some mean spankings when I fucked up major), and there wasn't overt verbal abuse. But I still felt it. I remember feeling it when he quit being the leader of my boyscout troop. I remember that the person that would help me practice throwing baseballs was my mom. I remember wishing that he'd teach me the all the great things he knew about fixing engines, building and repairing our home, and greenthumbing. What I remember most about my father is wishing that he'd interact with me. Instead, night after night, after long days of work, he retreated to one of his fiction novels and Ten High whiskey on the rocks, or Coors beer, or Zima (eesh) when he was apparently trying to... well, I don't know what that was all about. And things got worse. After the divorce, he really lost it. That was when the violence and the verbal abuse started. I was thirteen and just beginning to get a handle on what it meant to be a man, and that was when my self-confidence really eroded. It didn't last long; I think my dad realized he couldn't handle my problems, because he wasn't even handling his own. Rather, he was overtly pushing his problems onto me. So he very abruptly shipped me to my mom's place after I got busted in high-school with some pot.

After all that, my dad wasn't really in the picture. Sparse interactions between us were the story until he committed suicide in '06. I was my own alcoholic by then, and by the time I became willing to get sober, AA was really the only thing on my radar.

So it's been five years since all of that happened. Five years since my dad killed himself, and five years since I got sober. And for the first time, by a quite random occurrence, I end up going to an Al-Anon meeting because I didn't have anything better to do on a particular morning that I crashed with a fellow recovering alcoholic. It was a room full of "double-winners". Pretty much all alcoholics who got their first dose of it growing up from mom or dad (or both). And then I realized that I was in a room of people completely like me in this respect. We learned alcoholism from one of our parents. Sure, we became alcoholics in our own right, but AA wasn't the end of the road for these people, because it wasn't really the root of the problem. AA never felt like the total solution for me. It definitely helped me stay sober once I got sober. And I'm not saying anything bad about it, either. I just mean that in one hour of being introduced to Al-anon, a puzzle piece that never fit anywhere else quickly snapped into place. It's not necessarily the end-all be-all, but it's another step to cleaning up the train-wreck of alcoholism in my life.
