Hi, SAHD. Welcome to SR. As others have said, there's a lot of experience, strength and wisdom here. I hope you find what you're looking for.
I'd like to second the recommendation to read as much as you can here, and make sure not to miss the stickies at the top of the page. Educating yourself about what alcoholism really is, as well as what you can and can't do about it, is a good place to start. Here's a thread from the stickies along those lines:

I'd also suggest looking into Alanon or, if it's more up your alley, Celebrate Recovery. For me, the combo of Alanon for face-to-face support plus SR has been a real catalyst for change and growth.
Again, welcome to SR--this is a wonderful resource and a great community. I wish you strength and clarity as you start your own recovery.
