Cheryl grew up in Massachusetts, USA, in the 1950s in a family affected by alcoholism. It was only when she was sent away to school that she was given the structure that she needed. Later, as she built her career, Cheryl discovered that several of the survival skills that she had learnt in her childhood home had become personal attributes that were highly valued in the workplace, but she also learned that they were detrimental to building healthy intimate relationships at home. Since becoming a member of Al-Anon, Cheryl has experienced the joy and fulfilment that come from a life devoted to love and kindness. 

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 al-anon.org.au for more information.
