Alcoholics Anonymous. sober
Are there Alcoholics Anonymous meetings for the whole family?
Alcoholics Anonymous has a very clear sense that it’s purpose is to help people who have a drink problem. However, the experience of this happening very quickly showed family members that they also had been affected by someone else’s drinking and these help as well.
Out of this realisation, was born another 12 step fellowship, Al-Anon, which uses the 12-step program and the underlying experience of Alcoholics Anonymous as a way of helping family members deal with and cope with the effects of alcoholism within the family.
