My Alanon face-off
I attended an alanon conflict on Wednesday February 29,2012 at 7:15. The meeting was located at St.Micheals church on the northside of Racine. This was my beginning(a) alanon meeting. I have been to aa and n/a meetings before nevertheless never an alanon meeting.

Mt thoughts on what the women got out of the meeting is a sense a hope. That they are not alone dealing with love ones that have an addiction.
