Adult Children of Alcoholics®& Dysfunctional Families

We are glad you are here. Recovery is possible.

Welcome to Adult Children of Alcoholics®& Dysfunctional Families

Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA)/Dysfunctional Families is a Twelve Step, Twelve Tradition program of people who grew up in dysfunctional homes.

We meet to share our experience of growing up in an environment where abuse, neglect and trauma infected us. This affects us today and influences how we deal with all aspects of our lives.

ACA provides a safe, nonjudgmental environment that allows us to grieve our childhoods and conduct an honest inventory of ourselves and our family—so we may (i) identify and heal core trauma, (ii) experience freedom from shame and abandonment, and (iii) become our own loving parents.

Ballot Voting for WSO Registered Groups

It is time for WSO registered groups (meetings, intergroups, & regions) to vote on whether they would like the submitted ballot items to appear on the 2025 ABC Agenda.

Each group is encouraged to hold a group conscience to decide on how they would like to vote on each item.

Voting is open for Feb 15 - April 7, 2025

Information on the ballot items and instructions on how groups can vote can be found on the Ballot Prep Committee Page
