I am brand new to al anon. I have attended one ftf meeting and a few online meetings. I have alcoholic parents and recently (within the past few months) began dating someone who has been in AA for nine months. She seems solid right now, and I'm glad about that. But I find myself obsessing a lot about it. She originally said she wouldn't go to any Christmas parties this year because she didn't want to unnecessarily expose herself to drinking. However, she said today that she had decided to go to this party afterall. I don't want to worry about that, and I know I need help to get out of her business. I've heard people say that al anon could help me do that, but I don't know where to start. Could someone give me some guidance? I feel desperate. Thank you.
