Welcome to MIP - glad you found us and glad that you shared.....Substance abuse and alcoholism is a disease that knows no age limits and does not discriminate. It's a progressive disease that affects many beyond the one with the main problem.
Keep coming back - there is hope and help in recovery....You are not alone!

Kari are you the teen that you are concerned about? If you are then Al-Anon open meetings are for you also because Alateen is a part of the Al-Anon Family Groups. Go and share and learn and find serenity. If there are Alateen meetings in your are then go there also. Good luck and welcome to the MIP Family cause this is where you can come also. ((((hugs))))
