Al-Anon isn't really about that, it's more about you. However there are alternative/complimentary programmes which you could look into. Maybe take a look at the
CRAFT Program (Community Reinforcement Approach and Family Training). It's the part of SMART Recovery, another type of addiction treatment, which is for the loved ones of addicts. Afaik, there aren't any/many real life meetings, but they have online meetings at set times which are run by a counsellor.
