Incidentally, I hang around SR mostly to share my own experience, strength, and hope. I haven't had to deal with active alcoholism since I left my second husband, and it didn't take me long to recover from that (though I was busy developing my own alcoholism for a while, till I decided to get sober).
The other reason I post here is because I have some specific knowledge when it comes to dealing with domestic violence, so I like to get people pointed in the right direction when that is part of the scenario.
Oh, and not to mention--there are some awesome peeps on this forum.
