The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
New here, kind of at the end of my rope, tired of living this life with an alcoholic husband (who also smokes pot). Hes a functioning alcoholic, but so tired of it, tired of coming home every day to someone either high or drunk, tired of having a conversation or making plans with him which is either forgotten or completely different the next day. Tired of the jerk he is when he is sober too. Feel stuck, feel exhausted, never really know what to expect alot of the time. Its very very exhausting.
So glad you found us. As you read the posts you will find your in the right place and Al-anon is your best bet on seeking help for you. I'm sure you will receive a lot of welcomes and ESH. The best group of people you will ever meet.
Join us and keep coming back...because your not alone
((( hugs )))

Hi Sandy! Welcome! I, too, have been when you are and I am still there at times, as have many others, and I know it is not a good place to be. The emotional ups and downs will wear you down quickly and can make you physically sick. You have friends here who understand. Keep coming back!
Welcome! You're in the right place. The Alanon program provides support, perspectives, tools for healthier coping skills, as living with someone with the disease is too difficult to handle alone. If you aren't already, I'd like to suggest attending local Alanon meetings, getting a sponsor and work the steps, visiting the MIP boards and meetings, reading all you can about alcohol and addiction. I came to Alanon feeling stuck and have come to learn that I have choices and can improve my perspectives and outcomes.
This is a great place to start. Great people here who aren't afraid to tell you the truth with great love and support. I signed up here a number of years ago but never posted and never followed thru. I am back after many more years of misery. I will be going to my first f2f meeting tomorrow. Don't be like me. Follow thru.
