I encourage you to attend an alanon meeting if there's one nearby. It really makes all the difference to have someone to talk to who understands your situation.

I have not attended alanon because the nearest meeting is about 1.5 hours away from my rural home. It's not worth the risk to drive over the mountain at night alone.

I'm fortunate though to have a couple of close friends to talk with. One has left and abusive relationship and the other is a recovering alcoholic married to a recovering alcoholic. (Neither of this married couple has had an alcoholic drink since 1989.)
