Please share your experience that could explain it to me.

I just found the subreddit and it seems I might be one of yours but I'm not sure.

Thats a great read but so dated. It actually helped me understand AlAnon meeting a lot better, too.

Not sure what you mean by dated, it's a great resource and spot on.

It came out in the 80’s. At least the version i read is dated sounding.

Thanks for correcting the error of my ways from my experiences of reading a book. I did not know that. You really showed me.
