hi everyone. i am a new member and so happy to find this sight. i was
raised by an alc. married one, married another one, my best friend is
an alc, and so is my sister. both of my adult children are drinkers,
and i in my great wisdom decided if you cant beat them join them at
age 33 and started drinking myself. thank god i had the groups and
council over the last 30 years on and off, it didnt take me long to
figure out what a problem drinking could turn into for me if i kept it
up. i am 42 now. no longer an enabler, but still dont follow my own
advice to others dealing with this. i am looking forward to visiting
with others on line. i live in salem illinois and their are very few
alonon meetings near by. hope everyone is well today. god bless.
