I am not familiar with resources in Florida, but wanted to welcome you to SR.

It appears that you are busy stamping out some fires, figuratively speaking, so my concern is what are you doing for you?

Alcoholism is a family disease. It affects everyone in its path. We loved ones of alcoholics need support too!

Please check into Alanon meetings in your area for face-to-face support among those who understand.

"Codependent No More" by Melody Beattie is a great starter book, and helped me to see where I had been enabling others most of my life. It was a real eye-opener for me.

I was married to an alcoholic/addict, and now have a 32-year-old daughter who's an active alcoholic/addict.

I have learned to set boundaries and take care of myself first and foremost.

Again, welcome to SR!
