Alcohol abuse! PLEASE help!

I'll look into Al-Anon . I can't call it when Shawn is around, so I have to wait until he gets another job. I'll see if they have a website & maybe I can do emails from work.

We're going to AA tonight

Why can't you call it when Shawn is around?

Hopefully someone at AA tonight will tell you about some local Al-Anon meetings.

There are some AA people who go to Al-Anon also. After all, they married an alcoholic! lol

Just don't get so lost in Shawn's solution that you lose sight of yourself. You are doing fine so far. Just remember you too!

This is excellent advice. He MUST do his own work - you cannot do it for him. You can be supportive - but the hard work is his alone.

King2005, I agree with everyone, especially Catty1, Vela, & Redhedd about Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon!!!!!!!
Great organisations. I atteneded Al-Anon in the past. It was one of the most helpful groups I've ever attended. Also my sister still attends and feels it is invaluable.
The Big Book is also a great resource that A.A. uses.
Here is a link: Big Book
You can read or listen to it online. A little everyday, one day at a time. I wish you and Shawn well!!! Zoey

You are doing a great job here!! Good luck to you and Shawn!!
