Because of someone’s drinking style…

• I am scared?
• Do I get worried or lose sleep?
• Do I feel inadequate, guilty, or self-pitying?
• Am I ashamed of my situation?
• Am I ever embarrassed by the alcoholic's behavior?
• Do I apologize to the alcoholic or take responsibility for his actions?
• Am I tired, nervous or depressed?
• Do I sometimes feel angry or frustrated?
• Do I often feel desperate and alone?

If you answered yes to more than two questions, then perhaps Al-Anon can help.

Our relationship to our childhood wounds may change as we heal. Over time, we may find that we no longer identify solely with past hurts. Instead, we learn to live with our past without allowing it to define us.

As we begin to practice the principles of the program, we may find that we are no longer drawn to abusive relationships. Instead, we are drawn to people who treat us with the love and respect we have always deserved.
