If so: would an online series of free audio mp3′s and books/articles for download be of some help, or is there enough “stuff” on the web already?

This is a “sore subject” with many family members and spouses, so please let me explain further:

I am a recovering alcoholic (sober 5 years). Before that, I put my family through “heck” (that’s not the word I want to use, but there’s this “community guidelines” thing Yahoo has…).

I am lucky to still have my family and life. Period.

I am a strong believer in the 12 step method and AA.

I was just wondering if there is anyone who would want something “positive” to help you or your family.

AA and counseling deal with the addiction.

What I can offer (ok: my wife has a lot to contribute as well…), is the same advice I’ve learned over the years about the other part: getting your life back.

A lot of “AA’ers” tell you: “Your life won’t be the same – get used to it.”

There’s some truth to that: there are marriage breakups AFTER the spouse gets sober: the person changes.

I am very thankful to MANY people who helped me change… for the better! Not “get used to it”, but “get over it.” Back into a better life than it was before. Links to their work, teachings and advice, all on one site, would have benefited me. Perhaps I can “give back” to just maybe help someone else.

Or, is there just so much “junk” out there on the web, no one would see or care?

My brother is a permanent residents to states. He has a wife and children back home, apply for citizenship but was deny because of criminal record. He recently apply for his wife and children to come to the states. Will he be deny that too? Which i hope he will! Can’t stand him! I heard that if you petition for certain family members to immigrate to the United States as permanent residents, you have to have high income , at least a driver license (which he doesn’t DWI) , car, exc. Which he doesn’t have ANYTHING. If he does get approve how long will it take?
Not a citizen of the untied states travel home every November ! Winter hes back home summer hes in the state

Hi. I’m looking for pointers on what to research to get help. Over the holidays my older brother went quite a bit crazy. Really, we almost called 911. He was very drunk, and exhibited depression, aggression, anger. Oddly though, before it got really bad, he kept bringing up mundane subjects repetitively. (He questioned a phone call I made asking him what his kids would like for xmas, at least 6 times, and increasingly angry about it. It was very odd. His wife said he does this often now. She accidentally gave him the wrong directions and he badgered her about it for hours — after she apologized.)

His son has an undiagnosed speech disability. Could my bro be the carrier of Aspergers, or is this simply depression/anxiety or alcoholism?

It’s bad, and I’m worried about his 2 young children. He doesn’t think he has a problem.
Thx.
It’s new behavior. He was always socially immature, inappropriate jokes, overly loud talking, etc. Things he should have matured out of. His youngest child is high-needs, and this has added stress to their marriage. Maybe it is alcoholism. You have to practice to drink as much as he did on Thanksgiving — about 3+ bottles of wine.

He left the seen with the three children & went home. The wife stayed behind & took te blame.
I recived a phone call & went to the house & found my nephew with cuts all over his face & my niece had a gash in her head. The baby was still in the car seat. I washed the children in the tub as they were coverd with muddy water from the rain water in the ditch.When I finished with the 2 & 4 year old, I got the baby out of her seat. She is two months old & only weighs 7.3 pounds, her little outfit was soaking wet. I washed & fed her, as my family member sat & drank beer. This is common with this family member to be so careless, & I feel I need to step in some way. They have been warned by the local police twice before. How do they explain cuts all over these children? I am scared to turn them in & tear the family apart. I know the right thing to do i to turn them in, but I don’t think I can.

We think she may be using Meth, but she isnt exibiting any of the signs. We did how ever find some little baggys that we think may be Meth. She isnt the type of person you would think would do this kinda thing, and she isnt exibiting any of the signs. We are thinking that maybe someone she knows tried to get her to try it and she just never did .She did have a brother that died from meth use, and we can not see her doing something like this. What do you all think we should do?
