Hi.
Don't drive yourself crazy. If you don't go tonight then make a plan for another night during the week.
I think sometimes we may feel resentment that we have put ourselves in a position that WE must get help when it's the other person with the problem. At least that's how I feel sometimes. Truth be told it is US that also needs the help and guidance to maneuver thru all this craziness. Be kind to you... Read around SR. Take a deep breath, try to chill out and whatever you do, don't answer the phone for one night... Believe me, nothing's going to change in 24 hours....
Big hug to you!

Lilro,
Al Anon is great. But the gem of the program is the 12 steps. That is their mechanism of true change. There's a reason most programs have taken that framework that requires a change in thinking.
You can get on SR and make a lot of headway. You can work the steps even here. The steps are the key to AA and Al Anon. If you don't want to go to a meeting, settle in and start a journal for your step work.
You can work steps 1-3 without a sponsor. Step 4 is where you need some help, but you could use a counselor if the sponsor thing is a problem. I used my counselor and found a sponsor when I had started 4.
