Findmyself - thanks for sharing. What a touching experience with your daughter. I'm happy for both of you.
I love going to alanon meetings - in my area you can find an AA meeting at almost anytime close by. Unfortunately there are only a couple alanon meetings that are convenient with my schedule.
The first time I went, I immediately knew I belonged there. I didn't even speak but they could tell by my face I was new and scared to death.
They had a greeter that immediately brought me a newcomers packet with phone numbers. They welcomed me with open arms and hugs at the end of the meeting.
The day I left that first meeting I felt like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders.
