Thank you Betty!
I have been to Al Anon before - years ago. It saved me. I was married to my husband for 30 years. Quite a history, you can imagine. The last 5 years he did not drink very much but he had given up on life. He dropped dead next to me with an abdominal aneurysm. Of course I am still mourning his loss.
My daughter moved back in with me 2 months ago. We have always been very close. I love her more than anything in the world. She's all I have. I knew she was depressed but I had no idea that she would sit in her room every nite and drink by herself. Her life as portrayed to me the past 4 years has been a big lie.
I just don't know if I have the strength to go through all of this again.

Hi PeP
I honesty do hear you We have nearly the exact same history Look at my profile.

I urge you to try to findthe energy to at least come here, attend the on line meetings and visit the chat room. Post when you are able.

We are powerless over this dreadful disease but we need to regain our peace, courage nd health Al anon can help you do that Please reconsider.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

You know hotrod, when I first walked into an Alanon meeting with my daughter as an infant years ago, the first thing that hit me was that I was not alone. I will never forget that relief of knowing I was not alone.

I am so glad to be here. I just read dizbee's post.

This is my first step and I will continue to come here.

Thank you.
