attend a couple meetings. I've seen a couple marriages destroyed by alcoholism and actually got involve in 1 enough to be the person who would "drag" my BIL to AA meetings. So, even though I'm a better puker than a drinker, I have sat through some. There will be people there from all walks of life. Some court mandated because of a DWI, some newbies, and some experienced people there who will be more than willing to talk and to help you out. They and Karen got the experience and are willing to share. listen.
