Ask around AA to find the "family" AA meeting in the area. At my home meeting we have a monthly "breakfast" meeting and most of the wives and many of the kids show up there. There are often speaker meetings that many family members attend also.

I finally got up the courage to go to a few meetings after 30 days sobriety. Even though I'm new and don't have anything profound to add, I felt welcome and encouraged. I found I wasn't alone- others have screwed up relationships during their drinking career, and found themselves alone after choosing sobriety. I have a long road ahead, but there's hope.

2B2 - You're most certainly not alone.

There are MILLIONS of alcoholics in the U.S. alone and many of them are recovered and you can be too.

I'm very happy for you.
