Al anon wouldn't have been for me 12 months ago, but I think it is now.
Maybe that will be your mom a year from now. Just like the A's in our lives, most of us have to hit OUR bottom before we're truly ready to receive the gifts of recovery.

The good news is that you can have it whether or not anyone else in your family wants it. As they say in the opening(or is it the closing) of Al Anon meetings, you can find contentment and even happiness whether the alcoholic continues to drink or not.
