Well Holly Ann in the Alanon I go to it's all about those of us in the room, family and friends of problem drinkers and sometimes they are alcoholics.
In my time in Alanon I've never heard anyone say "Hi, my name is________and I am the wife of an alcoholic." EVER. But your experience may be different.
I was going to respond with a lengthier post but decided that staging a throw-down here is not helpful for Autumn's situation.
People who are affected by problem drinking can find help in Alanon.
You want to quibble with me you can take it to my thread so as not to take up space here. But know that I'm dropping the rope.
Thanks for sharing.

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
