Dr. Janet G. Woititz's EdD Book: A Guide for Adult Children of Alcoholics

Adults who grew up in households with a parent or guardian who suffered from alcoholism can be affected in many ways. As a result, they may have difficulty forming and maintaining healthy relationships, experience feelings of guilt and shame, or struggle with addiction themselves. Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA) is an organization that provides support and resources to those who have been impacted by their upbringing. Through meetings, workshops, and other programs, ACA helps individuals learn how to manage their emotions, build healthy relationships, and develop coping skills to lead a more fulfilling life.
