Hi and Welcome to the SR family!

You will find loads of support and information here for yourself. Your ABG (Alcoholic Boy Friend) needs help and support from professionals and others experienced with recovery from alcoholism.

This is his addiction and he is in control of his recovery. AA has helped many people stay sober (even if they failed after their first efforts). There are other programs available in most communities. Bottom line: it is his choice.

You may find information and resources for yourself here and at face to face Alanon meetings. They are 12 step support groups for friends and family members of alcoholics.

This website was a big part of my own recovery from alcoholism. This Friends and Family Forum kept me sane as I struggled with my spouses alcoholism after achieving my own sobriety.

Here is a link that contains some steps that have helped us:

Please keep reading and posting as needed. We are here to support you.
