Q

12 step/Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)

A

A support group for alcoholics
Al-Anon and Al-Ateen are groups for spouses, parents, and teenagers who are involved with alcoholics.
The focus is on helping these non-alcoholics learn to live and work effectively with alcoholics. The underlying belief is that family members often assume the role of enablers or co-alcoholics, perpetuating the alcoholic’s drinking patterns.
As the family attempts to adjust to the alcoholic’s lifestyle, they develop behavioral and emotional problems. Protected by the enabler, the alcoholic is spared the consequences of his or her alcoholism. The alcoholic blames he enabler and the enabler feels guilty and attempts to control family life and the behaviors of the alcoholic, e.g., throwing out liquor, taking the car keys. This does not work. Consequently, enablers feel worthless and helpless because they are unsuccessful in terminating the alcoholism.
