Hi Melody welcome to Al-Anon. I just read your post all i can say is
that this site may help just a little bit it would be better to get
to f2f meeting, Even though you travel a lot with your job their are
many meetings all over the U.S.A and the world, there are morning,
lunch, afternoon, and evening meetings, they are only 1 to 1 1/2
hours long, In order to understand our mates we need the love and
fellowship of the members to be able to work our program, When we go
to f2f meetings we can get phones numbers of other members and can
call them even if it only for a ten minute chat. In our program we
learn to become a VIP which means a VERY IMPORTANT PERSON we have to
be number one in this progran, I found that i had to be first before
my husband, and kids. I had to get well first before i could help
anyone else, In your travels all you need to do is look up Al-Anon
in the local phone book and they will give places in that town or
city where they are, or go on line and put Al-Anon plus whatever
state you may be in and it will give you all the places for that
state. We also have Alateen for your children as well, if there are
no Alateen meetings in you area then they are more than welcome to
come to the Al-Anon meeting as well. Once you find a group we ask
that you try it for at least 3 months because it is very confusing
when you first walk in those doors, Hope this helps Sharon
