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 hope it is alright to post here. I don't know where to go and where to start. I have been married to an alcoholic for 27 years. We are now in the process of divorcing. I see how much damage has been done to me emotionally and I need help figuring out who I am now and how to heal all the hurt his years of addiction and verbal and physical abuse have wrought. I hope this will help, thank you.
First of all welcome to MIP(miracles in progress)! You are not alone. Everyone here has been where you are right now. The first thing I learned were the 3 c's. I did not cause it, I cannot cure it and I cannot control another's drinking. Have you found any face to face meetings in your area? There are meetings here in the chatroom daily. Keep coming back. It took you at least 27 years to get here. You are on the right path. This program works if you work it and you are worth it!
Welcome to the board - and you are in the right place. Now that you have found us you are not alone. We are a family here and all have experienced some or all of the things you have mentioned and have yet to discover. Through sharing our experience, strength and hope (ESH) we find ourselves despite all of our years living with this disease. I hope you come to this board often and to the chat room meetings.
I during the summer months often go to the coast of NH (not sure if it is near where you are) and would be willing to meet with you and talk to you anytime you need. I would also be willing to go to a face to face meeting with you. You can always reach me through this board.

Welcome to the family. You are never alone. We are all right here with you. Here you find great strength, hope, experience, love and laughter (good for the heart). We have meetings here, open chats, and all sorts of resources for you to recover. You can and will recover and become whole again. There is a whole new world out there for you, once you start working your program. So glad you found us. Welcome home.
Live strong,
Karilynn & Pipers Kitty

As you've read you are not alone anymore! You will find a lot of support here but most of all you will find yourself again here. Put your time and energy into becoming you now and it will be the best trip you ever took. Post here often and we are all willing to share our time and experience with you.
First of all....you are no longer alone. You have come to a wonderfully peaceful place where we all understand your sadness, anger, or whatever other emotion you may be feeling. Please try to find a local AlAnon meeting to attend regularly. You will be amazed at how you can turn your life around and fine serenity. Also, we have meetings right here on this site. Check above for times and days. Come back whenever you can. There's help to be found here.
With caring and concern, Diva
