I would like to begin with a warm welcome to anyone reading this blog. I will assume you arrived here because you or someone you know is an Adult Child of Alcoholics. There are an estimated 26.8 million adult children of alcoholics in the United States alone. This blog is intended to share my experiences as an A.C.O.A. and the steps I am taking to overcome the challenges of daily life. I am not a doctor or a counselor. Please seek medical attention or professional therapy if you or someone you know is at any type of risk.
