I had the same thoughts as you. Someone here recommended the book: "Codependent No More" by Melody Beattie that taught me the idea of loving detachment.

I think if you post in the Friends and Family of Alcoholics or Friends and Family of Substance Abusers forums you will get more replies faster than in the study forums.

Take care.
