Alcoholism Help: What Should I Expect at an Al-Anon Meeting?

Question by Mimi M: What should I expect at an Al-Anon meeting?
I want to go to this support group because my husband is an out of control alcoholic. What will happen when I go? Will I have to participate or can I just watch? What happens if I have a complete meltdown? What are the rules I need to follow? Any advice for a newbie?

It just allows support for yourself. You will not be asked to participate, you do so if you want to. It just lets you know how to deal w/ an alcoholic and know that there is help on the opposite end (your end) as well. By the way, I am an alcoholic, and some of my family goes to Al-Anon as well. You’ll be find, best wishes!
