Eileen, an anonymous Al-Anon member, thought that divorcing her husband was her only option. Watch her interview to find out more.
Often after years of dealing with a loved one’s alcohol abuse, family members are exhausted and feel like they have run out of options. By coming to Al-Anon, they not only find support from others who understand what they are going through and feeling, but they also find that there are many other solutions that they didn’t even realize were available.
On our “How Can I Help My Problem Drinker Quit Drinking?” webpage, you can find links to members’ personal recovery stories that include many different points of view from a variety of relationships. Although their experiences with the family disease of alcoholism may be very similar, you will find that the ways in which they work their personal recovery journeys vary from person to person.
