    Going dark for this one; I would greatly appreciate some recommendations re: councellors that deal with people who suffer from family-members alcohol abuse and such issues. My GP suggested I check the Golden Pages which was certainly worth the consultation fee :rolleyes:

    Can anyone recommend a good option?

    have a look here:

    http://www.al-anon.alateen.org/

    The Al-Anon Family Groups are a fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strength, and hope in order to solve their common problems. We believe alcoholism is a family illness and that changed attitudes can aid recovery.

    Al-Anon is not allied with any sect, denomination, political entity, organization, or institution; does not engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any cause. There are no dues for membership. Al-Anon is self-supporting through its own voluntary contributions.

    Al-Anon has but one purpose: to help families of alcoholics. We do this by practicing the Twelve Steps, by welcoming and giving comfort to families of alcoholics, and by giving understanding and encouragement to the alcoholic.
