About 12-Step Groups

By attending Alanon, NarAnon, Families Anonymous, CoDA, ACA, Celebrate Recovery and other 12 step meetings on a regular basis, families affected by addiction learn to change their attitudes and old patterns and habits to find serenity and even happiness. Here are a few highlights of family recovery:


  1. We learn that alcoholism/drug addiction is a three-fold disease—mental, physical and spiritual—and our loved ones were/are victims of this illness. Learning about and understanding the disease is the beginning of forgiveness.
  2. We learn the three Cs: (1) We didn’t cause it, (2) we can’t control it and (3) we can’t cure it. (The 4th C- We can Contribute to it.)
  3. We learn to put the focus on, and be good to, ourselves.
  4. We learn to detach with love. In other words, we practice ‘tough love’ with others and even ourselves when appropriate.
  5. We use slogans such as “Let Go and Let God,” “Easy Does it,” “One Day at a Time,” “Keep It Simple,” “Live and Let Live,” “Don’t Push the River, Let It Flow by Itself.” Using these slogans helps us begin to lead our day-to-day lives in a new way.
  6. We learn to feel our feelings by accepting and expressing them, and to build our self-esteem.
  7. Through working the Steps, we learn to accept the disease of addiction, realizing that our lives have become unmanageable and we are powerless over the disease and the alcoholic/addict. We are able to change our attitudes and turn our reactions into actions. We work the 12 Steps daily and believe in the spirituality of the program—that there is a Power greater than ourselves that can restore our lives. By sharing our experiences, relating to others, welcoming newcomers and serving our fellows, we build self-esteem.
  8. We learn to love ourselves and in turn, we are able to love others in a healthy way.
  9. We practice regular telephone therapy with others in the program—this is helpful at all times, not just when problems arise.
  10. By applying the Serenity Prayer to our daily lives, we begin to change the unhealthy attitudes we have acquired.

For Children of Addicted Parents

According to the National Association for Children of Alcoholics, the 7 C’s of addiction can serve as a useful framework for helping children understand a parent’s substance abuse problem and how it affects their own lives:


I didn’t cause it.
I can’t cure it.
I can’t control it.
I can care for myself
By communicating my feelings,
Making healthy choices, and
By celebrating myself.
