Ive looked Alanon up on the web and they do not have a group in our area, the closest is about 45 minutes by car and my son has lost his licence so would have to rely on us or public transport to get him there. I think at the moment this would put him off as he wants to do it alone and I realise I have to allow this if that is what he wants to do. He knows we love him, when he is not under the influence he is lovely. Thats probably half the problem x
Alonon is a fellowship for friends and family of Alcohol/substance abusers. It is a program designed to help you.
AA is for the Alcoholic. It sounds like the alone approach is not working. Since it is your home. I would put up some boundaries as to what is acceptable and what is not. He is 25 years old. It doesnt matter if he is put off by having to attend an AA meeting. Are you nervous about him being put off? Once again, it is your home that he lives in.
Ive never heard of Aquarius.
