How do you stay strong?

Lately, I've been under a lot of pressure. My husband finished his surgery and he is having complications. I'm there to support him, and always do. However, I'm finding it harder to keep me ok. I know I have to take care of myself because you put your oxigen mask on first and then help others. I know if I drink it won't make it any better just worse. It's that familiarity that it will take you away. I know taking a simple break helps, even asking for others to help me out. I've tried AA, but it seems like they weren't very receptive to me. Perhaps I should try again. I know you all have been there and for the long timers what have you done to stay strong in these early periods? Any input is appreciated thanks
