Dear Annie: Al-Anon offers support for those who love an alcoholic

Dear Annie:

I’m writing about your response to the husband of an alcoholic wife. I have seen you answer others in the past regarding how Alcoholics Anonymous has helped a lot of people. In this case, I would highly recommend Al-Anon. While I’ve never been to a single Al-Anon meeting in my life, I have been to my share of AA meetings.

After 34 years of drinking and almost destroying my marriage, I went to AA and this time stayed there (it was not my first attempt). My wife went to Al-Anon, where she got to learn about life with an alcoholic. My last drink was on March 3, 2008. Nothing changes if nothing changes. — Sober in Arizona

Dear Sober:

Congratulations on your sobriety. You never gave up, and you succeeded and continue to succeed one day at a time.
