Welcome,

Read the stickys at the top of the page, and others post, that is a good starting point.

Addiction is tricky, and sure can cause alot of havoc for those who love an addict.

All you can do is, work on you, your attitude and set your bounderies, what are you willing to accept and what you are not willing to accept. Bounderies are put in place to protect you, not the alcoholic.

Keep posting, we are here for you.

Welcome Kiki to this forum. Glad to have you here. There are alot of good people here ready to share and support you. Learning how to live with an addict is hard....even a recovering one.

Looking forward to getting to know you. Feel free to share whatever you need to.

Welcome Kiki,

I'm new here too.
I've been reading from the information offered here in the "stickies." This has been very helpful for me and best of all, there are people here with alot of personal experience to share with and learn from.

Also, I've found local Al Anon locations on the Internet for meetings in my area that might possibly fit in my schedule after work.
Are there any AA or AlAnon meetings close to you in Israel?
