Recovery Talks by Kennedy Street – Details, episodes & analysis

On this weeks #RecoveryTalks​ we have two members of #Alanon​ who volunteer as sponsors in #Alateen​ meetings.

Alateen is for teenage relatives and friends of alcoholics. Alateen is part of Al-Anon.

Alateen facilitate meetings for 12-17 year olds. They meet to share their experiences of having, or having had, a problem drinker in their lives. They help and support each other.

By attending meetings, young people gain an understanding of the illness and feel the benefits of realising they are not alone. They learn that they did not cause this problem and that they are not responsible for their relative’s or friend’s drinking or behaviour.

By sharing their experiences, they find solutions to their problems and hope for the future.
