Hi :)

you can find them on the net, do a google search.  I did find what looks like a good site that has meetings on Friday evenings.

I do hope you try to attend some meetings in person though.  There is nothing like being one to one with other family and friends of alcoholics sharing thier experience strengths and hope.  I've been a member for 20 yrs and have made life long friends and confidants.

If you need a meeting, please call a local chapter in your area, you'd be suprised how many AA and Alanon groups thier are all over the country.

You could even attend some open AA meetings on your own or with your husband (make sure he is comfortable) and the best open meetings are speaker meetings where another alcoholic shares his story.  Many are open for all, not just the alcoholic.

Good luck and God Bless!
