I might add, though, that that's one reason why Al-Anon usually suggests going to 6 different meetings -- one group may work for you when another one doesn't.....

Yep went to Alanon a year...it just didn't/doesn't work for me...when I was in a marriage with an A it was a good escape though and it helped me make the decision to leave and go to therapy so I can't say it did nothing (doing those two things is quite a lot actually!). Therapy helped me leaps and bounds above Alanon...I can honestly say it was the only path for me.
But hey Alanon works for a ton of people so good for those it works for...just not my scene.
