Well, I went to the ACA meeting last night. Although it is a twelve step program this particular meeting felt a lot less rigid than AA. This suited me fine as there are many reasons I have no desire to attend any more AA meetings. The group was small and there was a lot of emphasis on keeping it a safe environment. No drunkalogues and no never ending horror stories about childhood abuse, which I was grateful for. There was more emphasis on the problems at hand which are the result of peoples childhoods than the actual childhoods'. In general it seemed more gentle but also more intense than the AA meetings I've been to. This is my "expert" opinion after having been to exactly one ACoA meeting! Ha,Ha. I haven't been to Al-anon yet, I may check that out this week.
