ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics) defines an adult child as "someone whose actions and decisions as an adult are guided by childhood experiences grounded in self-doubt or fear." I can completely and totally identify.

Having grownup in a home controlled by alcoholism, I was able to see my addiction very early. Thanksgiving, 1976, I told my family that I thought I was an alcoholic. I fully expected everyone to disagree with me. But, my mother said that she had been afraid of that.
So I was stuck with the admission and being the “perfect daughter”, I never drank again and went to AA. I had no idea that I wouldn’t discover until 33 years later than I had experienced PTSD in that home which would continue to shape and direct me until 2009 for a period of over 60 years.
Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA) is where I belonged 30 years ago. Sadly, I never knew the changes between it and ACOA. Tony A. wrote the Laundry List in 1978 and I have been sober since Nov. 1976. I hope that I can be an aid to helping people to deal with wounds of childhood. The Red Book can be ordered at ACA World Headquarters.
I have written a blog about reparenting The Free Road: Reparenting Ourselves and Others--Finding and Healing Our Childhood Wounds.
