Families Anonymous is a fellowship of people whose lives have been affected by the use of mind-altering substances or related behavioral problems of a relative or friend. Any concerned person is encouraged to attend our meetings, even if there is only a suspicion of a problem. Many recovery programs are available for our addicted loved ones, when they are ready to seek help and recovery. However, Families Anonymous is there for us: the parent, grandparent, sibling, spouse, significant other or other relative or friend. When you come into our rooms you are no longer alone, but among friends who have experienced similar problems. By attending meetings, studying the literature, talking to other members and working the 12 Steps of the program, our situation begins to look different to us and our reactions to it begin to change. In meetings, we share our experience, strength and hope, as we begin our own journey of recovery.
