The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method

Hi clarabell, so glad you are reaching out. The comfort, guidance and strength that I have found in the walls and pages of AlAnon have been incredible and unmatched, and I believe you will find them to be the same for you.
AlAnon helped me accept that the effects of alcohol were not things that I could overcome on my own, and guided me to resources and realizations that allowed me to find my way back to sanity.
Whatever it takes, please find your way to an AlAnon meeting and seek out the guidance from any of the books published by the AlAnon Family Group...and keep coming back here, you are always welcome

Hello and welcome As you have discovered, alcoholism is a dreadful disease . It is chronic, and progressive and affects the entire family. Since we are powerless over the disease, we too develop negative comping tools to survive the insanity. As LC suggested alanon face ot face meetingss will help provide you with a place to break the isolation caused by living with the disease and to learn new tools to live by.
