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.
Is there anything online for my teens to let their voices be heard. I can't get them to read any books, or go to meetings. They have had counciling when AH was in Serenity Lane for ReHab (waste of money) The councilor said they were handling it all quite well in fact they handle it better than me. They are on the computer alot so I thought maybe there was a place like this one that they could go to. Thanks for your help
Sno there is a huge benefit in introducing teens to the program whether it is Al-Anon or Alateen which is a part of Al-Anon. If they can sit still and listen and not distrub the meeting there is literature they can read and hugs they can get from the membership and the like. One of my sponsees use to bring in his young children to sit in the meeting while he attended to his own recovery and though they moved around more than any other member they got love and healing benefit from the membership. Their mom was in and out of prisons and institutions while their dad was in and out of meetings and they were able to be around a different perspective. Yes we regard the importance of the face to face meetings to the elder membership and at the same time we offer grace and compassion to anyone who has a problem with a family members drinking and using.
