I've seen alcoholism in my family for years. I often wonder (hope) that it will skip me from one of my parents. I've been lucky enough to work with a project online at
http://www.free-rehab.com. Billed by the builders as a resource that will ALWAYS BE FREE it offers 15,000 Drug Addiction Treatment Centers in the United States and Canada, so maybe it would be good for those outside the UK? The site offers Free Support forums and online live, anonymous group meetings.
Hope this helps.
