Dear Al-anon angels,

I am a long-time member of this incredible program, but find myself at loose ends tonight.  Glad I found y'all.  Husband 10 years clean.  First couple of years were very tough and I learned a LOT.  Seems like a dry drunk relapse is going on and I find myself sucked back into the  insanity.  I  just needed to come clean and say I have not been detaching with love on a consistent basis.  Talk about cunning, powerful and baffling!  I have many friends in recovery who remind me that alcoholism is a progressive disease, whether the person is drinking or not.  Dang.  I am back at Step 1 and could sure use some encouragement from anyone out there that has been in this mind-boggling predicament. 

Blessings to all.
