• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Hello all,
I'm SO glad I found this site! I've been a Christian for many years and have alcoholism in my family. My grandfather, aunts and uncles have suffered from it. I'm praying hard for those suffering.

Have you ever gone to a ALANON meeting? Its for the family member/friend/spouse/etc of the alcoholic. The meetings have support, advise, help, a friend to listen to.

heres their site: http://www.alanon.org.za

I strongly suggest Alanon, it is run like an AA meeting and is great for loved ones of alcoholics to find support and answers. I am a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. I encourage you to look into alanon. It can only help.

God Bless, Brian
