Kind of goes farther than AA, for those of us with those additional issues. Only about half of my group is also AA, and it's a fairly small group. And I find this surprising, since one thing I hear all the time in AA is "I come from an alcoholic family." But it's not well known, so I try to spread the word. The woman who told me about ACOA has had addiction issues, just not alcohol, and, in turn, I brought someone with me. So glad to hear it's helped you too!
