There's an excellant book called Keeping them Sober out there. There's a web-site by the same name. There's also an online al-anon group called SHARE out there at <A HREF="http://www.egroups.com/group/s-h-a-r-e." TARGET=_blank>www.egroups.com/group/s-h-a-r-e.</A>

Endeavor,<BR> Thanks, I clicked on your link and got an OOPS no site named s-h-a-r-e? I'll try to type it out without share. It would be WONDERFUL to have an online Alanon group. I'll let you know if I don't have any luck that way, again much THANKS!!

I didn't realize that e-groups merged with yahoo. They since change the name of the site. Try <A HREF="http://www.ola-is.org/SHARE/index.htm" TARGET=_blank>http://www.ola-is.org/SHARE/index.htm</A> <P>Sorry about that. <P>[This message has been edited by Endevor (edited June 20, 2001).]<BR><p>[This message has been edited by Endevor (edited June 20, 2001).]

Hey LastTry - I've been on a much needed vacation and just returned to work today. You have no idea how nice it was to see a post from you inquiring about my whereabouts. It's nice to know someone cares. Even though I'm out in my own apartment - I'm still stuck in the throes of being the spouse of an alcoholic - my husband calls constantly and tells me that he misses me - that he can't live without me. He told me yesterday that he knows that he is an alcoholic but he isn't ready to face it yet. I wonder when he will be. I thought it was frustrating before trying to get him to see the problem, but I realize now it's even harder when they realize it but refuse to do anything about it. Even though I know better my heart still feels like he is choosing alcohol over our marriage and that hurts like hell. I can't understand how someone can do that. And I guess I never will.

Hey Above!<BR> Glad to see you back, hope your vac. was a help. I'll try those boards, will look for you in them. Things are o.k.<BR>here now, but as we both sadly know it may not last long?<BR> <BR> Yes, it's very very hard, when they won't try to do anything about their life. It's so hard to sit and watch,<BR>hang in there, no matter what your valuable and deserving of much happiness!! Send me an e-mail sometime, if you still have my address? Take care!!<P> lt<BR>
