Seeing as I've never been a part of a recovery group before, I don't
feel like I should volunteer to lead anything. I will give you a
little background though, and maybe you can give me some advice.

My mom's wanted me to do something like this for like 15 years. My
father isn't/wasn't an alcoholic, but he played all the mind games
and manipulative games that go along with it.

Now I'm in love with an alcoholic. I know that it is very
unhealthy. That is one reason that I continue to live 2 hours away
from him. I know I can change him, and that it could be a very long
time before he hits bottom or decides to quit.

I don't know what else to write right now. I'm really tired, but
wanted to try to find someone that can understand tonight.
