Is there a history of alcoholism in your family? Even if the alcoholic is no longer drinking, Alateen can still be helpful for teens. Oftentimes children develop unhealthy coping skills that follow them into adulthood if they’re not dealt with. Alateen offers teenagers a safe place to recognize the effects and deal with them.

“My father is an alcoholic and is prone to mood swings. As a child, I developed a keen ability to sense other people’s moods and to adjust my actions to accommodate them. While this ability helped me to survive my childhood, I did not know how to turn it on or off, which in turn made it hard for me to recognize my own feelings and take care of myself.

“I was a people-pleaser. I put other people’s feelings above my own. In relationships, I would exhaust myself trying to help the people I care about, and then I would get unreasonable, overreact to insults, and blame other people for how I felt, often hurting the very people I most loved and wanted to help.

“There was a pattern in most of my relationships, but I could not see it for a long time. Many people had tried to point it out—my first ex-wife, my second ex-wife, my estranged daughters, and others—but I could not see it until my Al-Anon Sponsor put it in kind words that I could understand. My Sponsor pointed out that my blowups came from not taking care of myself, not because I was a bad person. It hit me like a train. I immediately felt like I could see that the world was round for the first time. So much of my life made sense. And the best part was that I knew that I could change it—for the people that I love and for myself.”

How Can I Help My Problem Drinker Quit Drinking? How does Al-Anon work? There is no magic formula that enables you to help someone stop—or cut back—on his or her drinking. Alcoholism is a complex problem, with many related issues. But Al‑Anon can help you learn how to cope with the challenges ...
