Hi and welcome to the SR family!
Please make yourself at home by reading, ranting and posting as much as needed. We are here to support you, and we understand what loving an alcoholic feels like.
At the top of the forum page are older, permanent posts (called stickies) and they contain loads of wisdom. Some of our stories are also in those sticky posts.
One of my favorite - is about how to help your addicted loved one. It has steps that I followed. Following those steps helped me find a better way to take care of myself and allow the alcoholic to take care of themself.
