Hi there, my name is Nicole. I am a Senior at Boise State University. I recently ended a long term relationship with someone who abused alcohol regularly. Over the course of two years I changed and became a weak person that eventually, no one would recognize. I was depressed with no solution ahead of me. My relationship was physically and mentally abusive. Over the last 6 months Al-anon has given me the strength to move forward with my life in an amazing/positive direction. I sought help and found al-anon to be the best thing that has ever happened to me. I still struggle daily but find myself in a more productive place. In one of the final steps in the strength/recovery process I have taken it upon myself to finish up my college career writing a mandatory research paper on this important topic. I have created a survey as proof for a 30 page research assignment for my final year of college. Throughout this assignment I have learned so much about this consuming issue (alcoholism). Are you able to maybe forward this on to members in live meetings and/or over email? This survey is completely anonymous. It is a quick 3 to 5 minute survey. My gratitude cannot be expressed enough, your help is assisting my strength in completing this huge step to recovery.
Glad you found help in AlAnon. I say that AlAnon gave me my backbone back. I had a wet noodle for a backbone and couldn't stand up for any of the things that used to be important for me. I lost me.
