Answers:
Well I have been looking.Keep going to therapists, etc. This is a good time to learn who you are without him. There is a Yahoo! group..it's a christian group out of Oregon but it might be better than nothing. The link is at the bottom. Keep looking for AA groups. Check on their website for the closest to you. Good luck..and guess what.YOU ARE GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS:)

There is a support group called Ananon it is specifically for family, friends, husbands or wife's of drug and alcohol addicts. it is a great group unfortunately i don't think they have anything on-line, but it wouldn't hurt to check.
Try calling Al-Anon and see what they suggest. Al-Anon is for current and former spouses and family members of alcoholics. If their own services don't extend to codependent partners of drug addicts, I'm sure they can refer you to a service in your area that is a good fit.
CODEPENDENT. That is what you are, and you had better learn what it means and face up to it, or nothing will ever get better.
