There are a lot more AlAnon meetings than ACA meetings pretty much everywhere. In some places they don't have ACA meetings at all, it's Alanon, AA or nothing.

Of course the obvious is that ACA meeting focus on adults who are no longer necessarily living with/around their parents but are still dealing with the fallout; where AlAnon is more for people who are actively dealing with their A's. But either way, the skill set is similar, just a matter of which angle you come at it from.

All of that being said, I make this post having never attended either an AlAnon meeting or an ACA meeting, so I'm just giving you what I've gleaned from other's posts. I just wanted to give you something to help combat that fear of the unknown thing.

Anyone with real life experience of AlAnon vs. ACA is certainly welcome to correct/contradict anything I've written.
