Have you ever thought of Alanon? That's a group, unlike AA which is for alcoholics, which is a support group for family and friends of alcoholics. I joined AA in 2008 and my AA sponsor started in Alanon to support a good friend and was persuaded that she had an alcohol issue as well. So for quite awhile I attended Alanon as well, a really diverse group of male and female, young and older. I don't know if you're interested, but here's a link to find Alanon Groups near you. Sounds like you might find it helpful. And please let us know how you're doing.
