I had actually tried Al-Anon before, in our old neighborhood. It must have been the meeting I attended, because I was very disappointed and never went back. All we did was read aloud from a book. I've heard from other folks that not all meetings are like that so I'm presently looking for meetings where we live now. I plan on trying the closest one next week. Hopefully, it will work out. If not, I'll keep looking. In the meantime, this forum is helping me a lot. It's unbelievable how much we share. I swear I thought I was almost the only one.
