My husband is 23 months sober, working his AA program - one day at a time. Prior to my diagnosis, I went to some Al-Anon/Adult Children meetings, but haven't been back for nearly a year. I am finally starting to realize that I am powerless over being bipolar, I need to accept the things I can't change, change the things I can, and have the wisdom to know the difference.

I did go to a Codependent's Anonymous group for a while that was actually quite good, though I did not engage in it to the degree that would have been helpful. Since you are married to an alcoholic, you might want to try something like that and see if you can't work it for both issues?
You can talk to your therapist about this first, or just go and not share anything?
