How to describe AA and recovery to a teenager
I am dating someone in recovery ( almost 3 years sobriety). My 13 year old son has met him but at some point, I want to explain what AA is and what it means to be in recovery. My partners children who are 12 and 14 speak about it very openly. Are there any resources I can use to have this conversation with my son?

Seeking Help........I haven't read them as my boys are long grown up....but, I know that they exist and that you can read all of the descriptions and reader reviews for each book on the amazon website. You can pick the one(s) that seem to best fit your needs.
