Helen and Kristie both grew up with an alcoholic dad and a co-dependent mum but it was their mum that had the most profound influence over their adult lives.

Finding Al-Anon Family Groups allowed Helen and Kristie to learn how to detach from their mum with love, to exercise their freedom of choice and to enjoy their lives.

If someone else's drinking is causing you a problem then you can phone the Al-Anon Family Groups helpline on 1300 252 666 or go online at www.al-anon.org.au.
