thanks all.
takingcharge, i went to several al-anon meetings last summer, but felt a bit uncomfortable as they were so small (including me, there were only four attendees). i felt almost forced to participate, and while i did, it just didn't settle well. however, i did pore over a few of the books, cozied up to soberrecovery, and have spent countless hours talking with two of my counselor friends (one at school, and another a resident at a community mental health clinic) who have offered up TONS of resources and advice on how to focus on me. it's definitely slow-going, but obviously necessary. oh...i also went to a couple of aa meetings, but they were with my ab who, ya know...isn't an alcoholic.
