Welcome to our Tony A. Study Meeting of Adult Children of Alcoholics & Dysfunctional Families. This is an open meeting and we welcome you. This meeting is an hour and half in duration. We read from Tony A.’s “The Laundry List: The ACoA Experience” book on the first, third, and fifth Tuesdays of the month and listen to Tony A.’s Florida presentation “why 12 new steps” on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month. Then the floor is open for sharing on the topic or your personal experience.
We meet to share the experiences we had as children growing up in an alcoholic or dysfunctional home. That experience infected us then, and it affects us today. By practicing Tony A.s’ Twelve Steps and by attending meetings regularly we gain clarity about the effects of alcoholism or other family dysfunction on our lives. As ACoA members, we identify with The Laundry List Traits. We become healthy adults and learn to live in The Solution of re-parenting ourselves, one day at a time.
