Al-Anon Family Groups, hope for familes of alchoholics. Go to six different meetings before deciding if it’s for you. There are a tons of meetings on zoom all over the world - though going in person, for a newcomer, I’d recommend, There is literature available at meetings, most of it free. Living with an alcoholic is tough, Al-Anon can give you some relief. I promise!

I appreciate you mentioning Al-Anon. This organization is a great support for those living with alcoholism. If you would like to find a meeting in your area, here is the link: https://al-anon.org/al-anon-meetings/find-an-al-anon-meeting/
Your suggestion to attend six different meetings is a good idea. The dynamics of each group can be different.

I run support groups through Learn to Cope: learn2cope.org. We have meetings every night of the week; most are on Zoom, so it doesn't matter where you're physically located. We offer resources and most importantly, hope, for people struggling with their loved ones substance use.
