One of the good things that came out of my six-week codie rehab was I FINALLY got back in the Alanon saddle!! I had gone for eight years in the 90s... then when AH was in recovery I stopped; when he relapsed, for some stupid reason I resisted going back--one lame reason was that my home group had disbanded. I think if they were still around I would have gone back a lot sooner, but that's a bad excuse.
Six years later..... I am finally a regular Alanon attendee. I started weekly meetings when I was away, and when I came back, I went immediately to two meetings the first week, and I'm just going as often as I can now. Last night, AH came home drunk and I simply got in my car, looked up local meetings on my iPhone and went to a new meeting in a different town. It was great.
So, lillamy--I agree with you! What a great program.
