Question by boscolove: How many of you think Al-Anon is a 12 step plan for alcoholics.Or that Al anon is yet another word for AA?
When I see a new theripist and I say I am in Al -anon they jump to I am an alcoholic and am in AA.Its just and example of not checking points out.
I forgot that I need to have to clarify to my new therapist and pschiatrist what al anon is since they have me as an alcoholic. So many men and women jump to that.

Al-Anon is not yet another term for AA. AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) is a 12-step program for alcoholics. Al-Anon is a support group for family members members of an alcoholic. There is also a plan referred to as Ala-Teen that is specifically for teenagers who have a loved ones member who is an alcoholic.
