My boyfriend thinks he's an alcoholic - should he go to AA?
I found Al Anon very useful when I was in a relationship with an alcoholic. I had to take some of the prayer and stuff metaphorically, but it worked that way for me.

They claim that they are very successful in getting you in front of people who make decisions before an advertisement is even started. The price tag... [more]
