I tried al-anon one time.I had to travel about 40kms to get there.I didn't get it. There was a church guy explaining how he was always expected to be a good guy.They talked about the inner child and stuff.I thought they would talk about relatives with alcohol or drug problems. I expected to learn what to do in certain situations. I suppose my main problem was having different expectations to what was offered.

When I was a teenager I also didnt get the purpose of a support group.The other teens had what i thought were trivial problems so I didn't realise I should have got support for my issues,which seemed to me at the time I didn't want to blow their minds.lol.

I do get the purpose of PC however and I enjoy it very much.It offers something I haven't had.A listening ear. .....kind regards Jjulia
