Welcome to the SR family!

We are glad you found us. You will find support for yourself and lots of information.

Have you heard of Alanon meetings? They are face-to-face group support meetings for friends and family of alcoholics. It is a 12 step program that uses the same 12 steps as AA meetings. Alanon is an option for you as a 21 y.o. with an alcoholic parent.

You can also make yourself at home here by posting your questions and concerns.

I am sorry that you had to witness the drama of police being summoned. I know it must have been very frustrating to see the police side with your mother. Your mom was doing what most active alcoholics are skilled at doing: manipulating. Unfortunately, the police officer was doing the best he could on the information provided.

Please continue to reach out for support for yourself. You are not alone!
