Hi and welcome Lsa - you'll find a lot of support and understanding here...a lot of us in this forum have experience on both sides of the fence.

SR is a good safe place

You might also want to look at out Family And Friends forums too?

I lived with a real alcoholic and she claimed to be a "functioning" alcoholic. It didn't work out so well for us. I was in my disease so it never had a chance.
