(((((looking up)))))...No meeting? go to the AFG.ORG site and double check and while you're there look up the literature such as One Day At A Time in Al-Anon and Courage to Change and Hope for Today and more. I'm sure there are places where meetings might not exist; I've hear that before just like Pineapple, a member of MIP, who has her own experience on how she has done it without meetings nearby.
Pineapple you on? Good work Lookingup. (((((hugs)))))
As far as him quitting or whatever, he is going to do whatever. There is no waiting around for you to see if he does. What a waste of all those years. He may stop and he may not.
I hope you will look for your own happiness.
hugs,debilyn
