akrasia...I was wondering what happened to you. I'm so glad you decided to come back to SR for support. Honestly, in some instances, SR was better for me than Al-Anon. I also used the online meetings, either here or on another site, to get some support. It felt good to "share" in the chat rooms.
Also, I don't know where you live, but is it possible to use the services of a social worker until you can get counselling started up? I found very awesome and down to each advice/support from social workers working at a local health clinic.
In the meantime though, can you share with us here about what's been happening in your life lately?
