In stressful times, alcohol and drug issues can escalate, leaving family members feeling desperate for guidance and not sure where to turn. Is Someone's drinking bothering you? One solid resource is
Al-Anon. https://al-anon.org/
Al-Anon is an anonymous group fellowship, usually in physical meeting sites, but in this CoronaVirus situation, options like online and phone meetings have been developed.
