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.
I am new to the board, and just wanted to introduce myself. I went to my first Al-Anon meeting on Tuesday, and I could feel it starting to help. I still have a long way to go, and am having a LOT of trouble and sadness. I am hoping that coming here will help in between times I can go to the meetings. My husband and I recently seperated due to the problems caused by alcohol. I'm having a very hard time detaching myself, even though I understand that I have been powerless, and all my attempts to make things better really made things worse. I only hope I can make myself better. I love him, and I hope he will come to find the help he needs for himself. I hope to get to know some of you, and share in your experiences as we make ourselves better. Talk soon.
Good for you for attending your f2f meeting. I wish I could get to one but commutes and one meeting a week in my small town preclude it. This is a great site with lots of understanding and help available. I am still pretty new to this, but I have already gained so much from everyone's ESH and reading their posts. I hope it will do the same for you! Keep coming back!
I can only share that for me this board helps tremendously between face to face (f2f) meetings. I also recommend our online meetings and chat. You can get a program fix at some of the oddest times

Thank you, everyone! It is good to see so many welcoming and friendly responses. I was busy over the weekend, so I wasn't checking on the board. Jennifer, the MS Walk was great. Thanks for asking. It was really something empowering that I could do to help take care of myself, and that's what I need to focus on right now. I will keep coming back, and I hope to talk to you all more soon!
