Penny,

I do go to alanon meetings and read alanon books, my favorite is a courage to change. my H does have a problem with drinking so it helps me. but honestly i think it is good for anyone. the basic principal of alanon is alot like DB'ing. that you can only control and change yourself, that you need to worry about your own box, to detach with love, and the let the other person live their life and figure things out on their own in their own time. it could not hurt.
