“I came to Al-Anon many years ago, and it has been quite a journey. My sober alcoholic was doing things that really hurt me, and I was devastated. I have learned many things about alcoholism, in particular how families are affected for generations by it and how the cycle can be broken.”

“The Woman in the Mirror,” “The Forum,” September 2018

Is there a history of alcoholism in your family? Maybe Al-Anon can help.

Sometimes, it’s not clear how we have been affected by the family disease of alcoholism. Many believe that if the alcoholic is no longer in the picture, their troubles are over. This is often not the case. As life goes on, and other issues arise, we react using what we know – the same coping mechanisms we used with the alcoholic. In Al-Anon, members start to recognize behaviors that are no longer helpful for them and find new healthy ones.

“Life and its problems will happen. At times, it will be painful, but how I react is up to me. I don’t have to be upset forever and continue to suffer in self-pity or fear. I’m allowed to have these feelings, but at some point I have to release them in order to move on.”

“We are so focused on the drinking and the behavior of the alcoholic, we don’t realize that other members of our family are affected too. It is easy to see the direct impact of the alcohol on the drinker. We don’t understand how the non-drinking parent can have a problem when they aren’t the one who is drinking… The effects of alcoholism on each family member and their relationships to the alcoholic and each other are very individual. We may get to Alateen because one parent drinks, but we eventually come to realize how the disease of alcoholism has affected our entire family.”

“Courage to Be Me - Living with Alcoholism,” p. 11

If you know a teen whose life is or has been affected by someone else’s drinking, you may want to share information about Alateen with them. It may be what they need to help them cope. For more information about the Alateen program, visit:

“I am progressing in recovery from my need to rescue my son. I have stayed off the constantly revolving merry-go-round, but I realize I never left the amusement park. Now I am being invited back to the merry-go-round again. By staying in the amusement park and trying to avoid the merry-go-round, I have kept the excitement and sickness too close to home. I know now that I need to leave the amusement park and all its excitement and sickness so I can continue with my recovery.”

“Denial is one way we shield ourselves from reality, often because that reality is too much for us to bear. In this way, denial can help us through painful situations, allowing us time and space to become acclimated to the truth. Although denial can protect us from our pain, it can also hurt us. Remaining in a state of denial for too long can cause us to lose touch with ourselves. Pretending we are ‘fine’ does little to improve the way we feel. Over time we can become so removed from what we are feeling, we don’t even recognize when we are hurting. Just as [Al-Anon’s] Step One helped us admit our powerlessness over the disease of alcoholism, it can also help when it comes to accepting our powerlessness over our feelings.”

“Opening Our Hearts, Transforming Our Losses,” p. 119
