Hi and welcome. It’s usually suggested that going information is on the Friends and Family forum. I’d also suggest attendeding local face to face Alanon meetings. Try to listen and understand, these people have been at it for long periods and quite often when new we don’t like what we hear. Try to bare with it.

BE WELL

sister

Is it wrong for me to give her no contact with me for a week? I am all she has for family. She has broken my boundary rules with all the excuses. I live an hour away from her. There is no al-anon near me.

I went no contact with my sister last year over drinking when I sobered. I know from my own experience, the decision is ultimately hers. Our no contact went almost a year. She contacted me when she had 4 months of sobriety. Fortunately, I was back sober after my own relapse.
Boundaries must be protected with consequences or they are not boundaries are they?
