Should I leave my alcoholic husband?

    Al-Anon is for you, not him

    My dearest LW, and I truly mean that, get out now while the gettin's good. Don't even bother with the ultimatums. And go back to those rooms. Al-Anon is not for his drinking; it's for your recovery from this experience. It's not about him, it's about you. Keep the focus on yourself, because you are all you can control.
