The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
If anyone has a chance and would like to begin/increase their alanon service work, please consider going over to the Family Teens Message Board and posting:
As you all know, this can be such a bad time of year for the children of addicts. We've had a decrease in the amount of people posting and replying to posts on the Teens board.
Just a few tips (suggestions if you will):
Remember, they are teens if/when you are replying. Also because it is a teen board, I try to reply as to my feelings at that teenager level, rather than an adult telling them what to do. Being a child of an alcoholic, it's easy for me to put myself right back into their situations and how powerless I felt.
Thanks, Maria
