Question
I went to my AA meeting last night to celebrate my 30 days and to receive my 30 day chip. My husband came for support. He drinks beer every now and then but never in front of me. last night we ordered take out and he had a few beers to celebrate , I on the other hand held my composure and just had cranberry juice. I found myself feeling like I had a buzz along with him is that normal?
Hi bernice
I don't know, but whatever it is, it seems to be good sign. In addition to AA I suggest you should also look at the nutritional treatment of addiction. See:

Alcoholism (Addiction) is a Treatable Disease at:

Drug Addiction is a Nutritional Disorder at:

The first step in treatment is going on a hypoglycemic diet ( See our web site). If problems persist, it is best to consult a Nutritional Doctor, Clinical Nutritionist or a Nutritional Psychotherapist for further diagnosis and treatment.
Cheers
