I see a lot of use of acronyms here and being new to the board I am not sure what they all mean. Is there any place that has them all listed?

I don't think there is a list posted anywhere. Here are some I have seen frequently, and if you see some that you can't figure out, don't hesitate to ask.
ESH = Experience, Strength, and Hope (what we share with one another in Al-Anon_
HP = Higher Power (as we each understand our own higher power)
AH, AW, AS, etc (Alcoholic Husband, Alcoholic Wife, Alcoholic Son, etc.)
F2F = Face to Face meetings
C2C - Courage to Change, one of the Al-Anon daily reader books
ODAT = One Day At A Time: slogan, and the title of another Al-Anon daily reader
