Just have to chime in and agree with Bklyn on Al Anon.
[b]This might sound insane but I never knew that if someone asked me for a favor I didnt need to respond immediately. i could say something like "I will get back to you".[/quote]
This was true for me too. I also thought I had to have a solution to every problem NOW.
Al Anon is a lot like DB in concept. Solution based therapy, do what's working, stop doing what's not working, focus on yourself and detach with love. Meetings are not about the drinker, they are about you. All groups are different so try different groups to find one that fits.
Al Anon is open to anyone who is bothered by someone else's drinking relative, friend, co-worker,, anyone.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
