The first thing I learned in Al-Anon was to help myself, because if I am not anchored to my Higher Power, I can’t help anyone.
I am a long time member of the Al-Anon Family Group – I learned in Al-Anon a long time ago that I could not help my children who were out there drinking and getting in trouble – in trying I got sick – physically – mentally and spiritually.
My suggestion is try Al-Anon, the members in the rooms have been through exactly what you are going through.. We have a lot of literature that has helped me and many others through the years – someone will tell your story – we will never be alone again in the rooms of Al-Anon.

Focusing on ourselves was and is one of the hardest things to do. Prayer and meditation was and is a great help for me. God Bless You…”keep Coming Back”. I know of no other organization where you can find support and help around the world, than with Al-Anon.
I am looking for help my daughter because my daughter is drinking too much. She is putting stress in the household.
