My 30 yr old daughter JM is an alcoholic
Permalink  

I am familiar with the Al-Anon and AA principles as I have gone through this with my ex-husband-- but I need advice on how to introduce my youngest daughter (25- who I will call EM) and my (current) husband (DH) to these principles to help them cope with JM.  When I was actively involved with Al-Anon I went to meetings and read the books- but somehow I don't think DH or JM will do either. Suggestions? I try to explain the philosophy but I'm not quite there- need some "new fashioned" resources. Thanks---

I imagine you could purchase some alanon literature and leave it about the house They might pick it up or

You can also continue to live  by the principles and steps and slogans and lead by example

Leading by example is all I can do in my own house--any attempts to discuss program have not been received well at my house.

I have found that burdening people with talk of spiritual matters leaves me open to criticism and other behaviors. Others need to be as fertile as I was to seek it themselves. They just cannot hear until they're ready.

This is where I have to work my own program, be an example, and let other people be in the hands of HP.
