OT: Alcoholic's Partner's support board online

[Mayberry]

Dear Friends:

A dear friend of mine is struggling with her husband's alcoholism. Do any of you have good experience with a support board for partners of alcoholics? I would be very grateful if you'd share them here.

Thank you.

PS: My friend is a Christian and if there any Christian-based groups that you'd particularly recommend, they would not be off-putting to her.

about.com has a forum for friends and families of alcoholics. It also has links to AA, NA, and Alanon resources, as well as online, real-time 12 step meetings. Yahoo groups also have several groups dedicated to families of alcoholics; some are 12-step and Christian-based, some are not.

Alanon also has an excellent web page:

www.al-anon.alateen.org/

I would urge your friend to look for a face-to-face alanon group. I have been a grateful member of alanon for several years. Those people saved my sanity and probably my life.

Thank you, saddkatt; I deeply appreciate that guidance. If anyone else has experience to an online support board, similar to this one for porn addiction, that they would personally recommend, I would appreciate further "hints." J
