I am a newbie myself, but I think this is a great idea. Alanon (and this forum) have helped me so much....I have a long, long way to go but at least I have some direction and a lot more hope now than I did.
If you do try Alanon, I will tell you what I was told: Try a half dozen or so different meetings, if you can. You will find some that you feel more at home in than others. Also look into getting some of the Alanon reading material, if you can. Here is a link to some podcasts you can listen to online if that works for you

Wishing you all the best!
