Welcome CAZ12
You will find amazing wisdom on this site as I have pls keep coming and reading the stickies at the top of the page. I have only been here a couple of months, I knew nothing when I came on, but have been educated and grateful ever since.
I carnt believe your thread about Al anon because I have just posted above you, without knowing, a similar thread.
I know exactly what you mean I felt like this last night at my first meeting and guess what im 52!!!!!
I had empathy for all who were there but didnt feel comfortable. I know its not a comfortable situation we are in, but it all felt a bit hopeless.
So your not on your own with that one CAZ12. Keep coming here and reading and posting and you ll find a wealth of information and support as I have.
And im looking for alternative face to face groups also under diff umberellas.
Nice to meet you
