I have been to a few AlAnon meetings, but I haven't found a group that really worked for me yet. I do have my own therapist, who has been a great help. It's just hard to find time to fit in my therapist appointments, marriage counselor appointments, trips to the gym (essential for my health & stress), and manage a household of 7 pets, all the while holding down a full-time job. I do ALOT of reading on my own both online & in paper (I have several of Melody Beattie's books); I read at least some highlighted passages if not a whole chapter from the books before bed at night. But, I know that doesn't substitute for a live, human sponsor. I have been thinking about trying to find another Al-Anon meeting to try, so I'll check out their Web site & see if I can find another nearby that I could work into my schedule. Thanks to everyone for their feedback & sanity check :-)
