Question re: Alanon
It has been a while since I posted. I have been focusing on my own recovery and my husband and daughter. I wanted to ask a question to those who have attended Alanon.
My mom and dad went to their first Alanon meeting on Tuesday night. I was very happy that they took that first step. It has taken them since May to do so. My mom called to tell me how the meeting had gone and said that one of the things they were told was that it would take 6 meetings to know whether or not they truly need Alanon. This surprised me, but having not gone to a face-to-face Alanon meeting myself, maybe this is normal. Is it?
I really hope they stick with it, as they are enablers in every sense of the word, but I also know that they are the only ones who can choose to keep going. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
