help.<br><br>***My marriage and relationship are being destroyed by
this, she has also been a member of AA for over 20
years and still attends meeting and doesn't drink.***
Please don't blame AA for <br>your wife's
passive-aggressive behavior. Most people attending 12 step meetings,
I believe, aren't health care professionals. They
can only offer help and support regarding the
addiction. It's up to the addict to change his/her
behaviors.<br><br>For my part, I'm a food addict who has attended
OA<br>meetings in the past. I'm also passive-aggressive. From my
experience, the addiction can be viewed as hiding the
behavior. That behaviors appear when you follow the 12
steps like<br>mold does when food becomes spoiled.
<br><br>And not everyone can use the 12 steps to change their
behaviors. Sometimes he, or she, needs professional help to
supplement the steps.<br><br>silvergreycat
