"Dry" by Augusten Burroughs- it's the story of his journey to sobriety- very funny, very sad, very true. A great novel. Beach girl PS. Welcome!

A great book for someone that's in a relationship with an alcoholic or addict (that would be you) is "On the Family" by John Bradshaw. Anyone that is in a relationship with an alcoholic probably is a Codependent. "Normal" people just are not attracted (read repulsed by) to alcoholics. Do a little googling, here's a head start, http://www.codependents.org/foundation-docs-patterns.php

It's a great book, an easy read and available any book store or amazon for about $8. You'll learn more about yourself and this family disease, in a 100 pages, than you will for the rest of your life. Just unbelievable.

Good luck in your Journey,

Dean
