Yes, Al-Anon Family Groups definitely has on-line support groups for families of alcoholics. The on-line meetings are chat and bulletin board (list serv). There are also telephone meetings.
You might also want to listen to Al-Anon’s First Steps to Recovery podcast on the Al-Anon Family Group Headquarters,Inc.s Web site,http://al-anonfamilygroups.org/Podcasts/FirstSteps/ . The podcasts are on a variety of subjects and you will hear members talking about what happens at an Al-Anon meeting as well as on a variety of subjects.
On-line meetings are a great supplement to meetings in real time. I hope you will also consider going to a F2F meeting. It really helps to meet people face to face who understand what a family member of an alcoholic goes through. I knew I was in the right place at my very first meeting and what a relief it was for me to get help. I thought I was going crazy. Call 888-425-2666 for meeting information.
