'When Love is Not Enough' "Our hearts do not need logic, they can love and forgive and accept that which our minds
cannot comprehend. Hearts understand in ways our minds cannot"
Lois Wilson, Founder of Al Anon

Recovery does slowly what drink, drugs & medications do fast...
...changes perception of reality.
Learning how to fit in
To live life on life’s terms
Free from addiction
Free from fear
“Community as method”
Recovery community a place where you learn how to live
right, with other people...
Al Anon & Famanon

‘Goodbye, Mr. Wonderful’ (Chris McCully 2004)
“Any fool can give up for a week or a month. For recovery to last, it has all got to change…are
you prepared to undertake all the changes another persons recovery might mean?”

Benefits of Family Involvement
Participation by family members is associated with better treatment compliance and outcome.
Family members gain a clearer understanding of recovery.
Family members and the person in recovery understand their respective roles and goals.
Family members and the person in recovery get support in the recovery process.
