Adult Children of Alcoholics (and dysfunctional families)Discussion Group .

Welcome to the ACA program. This is a 12-Step, 12 Tradition support group focused on understanding the specific behavior and attitude patterns we developed while growing up in an alcoholic or other dysfunctional environment. These patterns continue to affect us today.

By attending regular email meetings we come to a better understanding of our past so we can more effectively restructure our lives today. We begin to see more clearly what is positive and healthy in ourselves. We are individuals struggling through rigorous honesty to become the best we can be. Meetings are intended to be safe places where we can share our experience, strength, hope, and fears without judgment or criticism. We have the right not to share unless we are ready.

ACA is not meant to be a substitute for other 12-Step programs, but we believe the tools we have to offer can be helpful in recovery. This program is grounded in spiritual guidance and is not affiliated with any specific religion.

We meet together to share our experience of walking the path toward recovery; we offer friendship and understanding. We love one another in a very special way. We welcome you to join us.
