There is a convention coming up in Cromwell, if you have time on that Saturday there are a lot of interesting topics.
Do try a couple of different Al-anon meetings, I have been to three different meeting groups and they were all very different. It might just be the first group is not a fit for you, but another one will be. For me, the one closest to home was the one I liked the least, but the one further out is well worth the drive.
As far as therapist go, finding one that you feel comfortable with is best, so try another one, as each one has their own viewpoints and styles.
