- to shelter and support newcomers in confronting denial
- to comfort those mourning their early loss of security, trust and love
- to teach the skills for re-parenting ourselves with gentleness, humor, love, and respect
The ACA program is not easy, but if you can handle what comes up as you attend these meetings you will start to come out of denial. Confronting your denial about family addiction or dysfunction will give you freedom from the past. Your life will change. You will make friends and truly learn how to live with greater choice and personal freedom. You will learn to focus on yourself and let others be responsible for their own lives.
If you would like to be a member of this group, KEEP COMING BACK. As our third tradition states, there is only one requirement for membership: the desire to recover from the effects of family dysfunction.
