Hi Akrasia.

Welcome back. I understand how you're feeling. Keep coming back here if it helps you. Even though I'm not on here every day, when I am, I get a lot out of the ESH of others.

I've attended Al-Anon and even though I value it, I found myself dragging my feet to get there. I started thinking that I didn't want help learning how to deal with the alkies in my life. I wanted a program where I was the focus. I didn't want to learn how to detach from them, I wanted to get better. I wanted to feel comfortable in my own skin. I needed to learn how to love and accept myself. I went to AA and got so much more out of it. I felt like it had more meat and I related so much better to it. The right fit for me, I believe, would be and Adult Child of Alcoholics meeting, but we don't have any here. So, I come to SR and I'm just about to start seeing a counsellor again. All the best Akrasia. Remember, recovery is a process, not an event...one day at a time.
