Is this only for children of alcoholics or is it like the 12 step group which is actually Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families?

Thanks,

seesaw, Hello and thanks for the question. This site is for adult children of alcoholics but it is also a place to talk about what treatment of modalities have helped. If meditation has helped then it can be discussed. If going to 12 step meetings such as ACOA, CODA or Alonon have helped you then that is fair game to discuss here. It is not centered around any specific 12 step program. This place is a community of adult children of alcoholics who share their hurts, sorrows, stories and what has helped them to cope with their issues. 12 step talk is ok in this forum so if that is what has helped you then discussing it is ok. There is not a formal process here.

Also, I know some people who have dysfunction in their childhood who attend 12 step ACOA meetings. If anyone has dysfunction in one's childhood they are surely welcome here and many can relate and will want to offer feedback as most of us here have had a lot of dysfunction in our lives that originated in childhood. I would hope that this dysfunction occurred as a result of one's childhood if brought to this forum. If it occurs as a result of a relationship without an origin from childhood it may not be the right forum to be in.

Hope this helps.
