I have not had any experience with this but I agree that you need to focus on you before you can even attempt to try and help someone else.
The worst part about this disease is that the person who is in active additcion (whether it be to drugs or alcohol) needs to be the one to want to quit or there is no way that it is going to happen. It's SO hard to watch someone you love deteriorate but really there is nothing you can do but to lead by example.
Have you tried Al-Anon or Nar-Anon before? These programs might help you.
Good luck!
