I am trying to find an alcoholics group geared towards mom?

Question

I have asked this before, but haven't found what I need. I want to find an online group for moms struggling with alcoholism. I am trying to be as candid as possible, but feeling so alone. Someone sent me to an AA website where I read about alcoholics from lesbians to clergy, but what I really want to find is something where I can talk to other "good" moms that live a normal life, but hide their addiction. Am I really the only one. I am starting to think so. I don't WANT anyone to be going through what I am, but I also HOPE I am not alone.

Answer 1

Sometimes you can find groups thru organized therapy offices.  I would suggest finding a counseling center and letting them know that you specifically want groups geared towards moms.  They have them.  

In the phone book you can find therapists who work on sliding scales (reduced fee depending on income) if you need it, and they have groups that you can attend, or they can refer you to the appropriate local groups. Good Luck.  I hope that you find what you are looking for.  You can also try your local church for referrals.  

Answer 2

I don't know if this is what you are looking for or not, but I did find a web page with a blog and info on one person -- and probably more -- at: http://stayathomemotherdom.clubmom.com/s...

She talks freely about trying to get away from the alcohol.  And has a link to email her, as well as when you look at her profile, there are other Moms who mention alcohol, too.  Don't know if this what you are looking for or not, but perhaps they can point you in the right direction online.

Good luck.
