At 12 step meetings, we share our experience strength and hope on how we learned to accept and cope with the addiction of someone we love. This is our recovery. We do not give advice as we are not professionals. We have books with stories written by our members which can help you gain perspective.
If someone close to you has a drinking problem, has it affected you as well? Professional counselors say that this is a family disease. We recover from the effects of someone else's drinking.
But how can a 12 step program help you?
Life can be stressful. "Sit easy in the saddle - it is a long ride". Give yourself the support and time you deserve to learn and step back and reassess. Share and start to decompress. Find a meeting near you or online - Al-Anon is world wide.

Before you speak, ask yourself:
is it Thoughtful?
is it Honest?
is it Intelligent?
is it Necessary?
is it Kind?
Sane communications can make relationships easier in the long run.
This is a 'we' program. Recovery is better together with others who understand. Yes, we know it is scary to walk in to your first meeting, but everyone in the room knows that.
Perfection can be a survival mechanism and an indirect way of trying to control the drinker. Are you trying to prevent a drinking bout by being perfect so that nothing goes wrong, and they won't have any reason to drink? Addictions don't work that way. Alcoholics feel guilty about drinking, so they often deliberately cause an argument or an upset, which serves as a needed excuse to drink.
Trying to control the world?
Is it working?
How do you let go?
Facing thorny problems? Chances are that your situation didn't happen overnight, it probably won't get fixed overnight either.
