Needing help

I'm beginning to think I need an intervention. I wonder if there's a 12-step group for Solitaire.

I've been thinking a bit about 12-step programs lately, partly because a friend posted on his vlog the other day, questioning whether he was an alcoholic and I left a comment with a link to AA's 12 questions.

But even before that, I was thinking that I may have drifted farther away from Al-Anon than might be good for me. In particular, I'm having trouble lately with being judgmental. Even when I was going to meetings, I had issues around this--I think one has to be able to maintain good judgement about other people and situations, but being judgmental is different than that. And, of course, it's a fine line. I think I've been stepping over that line since I stopped going to meetings, so maybe it's time for me to go back, at least a little bit. Or at least pay more attention to my own attitudes and not let myself fall into patterns that aren't healthy for me.

Which is something I should probably pay attention to anyway, since I'm going to see my mother in a couple of weeks.
