What are Al-Anon
Adult Children Meetings?
 
Many of us in Al-Anon grew up in families affected
by alcoholism. However, we do not always recognize the part this disease
played in shaping us into the individuals we are today. Not suspecting
that the experiences we had as children affect us as adults, is it any
wonder we are bewildered when we find that our lives today are unmanageable?
Al-Anon Adult Children Groups arose out of the
realization that many members of Al-Anon had grown up in families affected
by alcoholism. What was experienced as children continues to affect us
as adults. By meeting with others who were similarly affected, we come
to a better understanding of ourselves.
The experience, strength and hope of the members
of our fellowship allow us to overcome the effects of our childhood experiences.
The following is a simple questionaire to assist
you in determining whether this fellowship is for you. Al-Anon
