You may have heard a few times, “You should check out an Al-Anon meeting!” To which you might refute: “I’m good, thank you.”
But, is Al-Anon worth your time? Is it really for you or is it only for loved ones of heroin addicts or a more ‘serious’ addiction?
In this article, we will do our best to explain with Al-Anon is, how it can help you, and where you can find help… If it is something you need.
