Unigirl on my 3rd AA anniversary my AA sponsor strongly suggested that I start attending Alanon IMMEDIATELY. I was married to a sober alcoholic.

That was over 24 years ago now. I have NEVER regretted it for even a nano second. Alanon has help;ed me so much, not only with the sober hubby whom I later divorced, but with interacting with other alkies, actually with interacting with other people in general, and with my sponsees.

Alanon gave me a WHOLE NEW PERSPECTIVE on the 12 steps.

Give it a shot. You certainly will not be out of place with 2 parents that are alcoholics. Many many folks in Alanon now have sober parents, spouses, siblings, children, etc and they still go.

Alanon is not for the Alcoholic in your life. Alanon is FOR YOU.

Give it a shot and let us know how it goes.

Love and hugs,
