Kathy306, Welcome to SR! Lots of wonderful advice for you here. I understand how that first face to face meeting can feel. However, 9 years later, I am so very grateful that I stuck with it. Most meetings have the same principals. In the beginning I went to alanon, then both alanon & naranon. sometimes 3-4 meetings a week. The most rewarding meeting for me is the Naranon meeting that I attend now, simply because there happen to be alot of parents there. As they say, "keep coming back"
Prayers coming your way.
Chris
