Summary: There are many traits that families pass down from generation to generation, but an addiction to alcohol and drugs is something no one wants to receive. Our guest today will talk about patterns that adult children of alcoholics & addicts (ACoA) learn from the parents, how these patterns are brought into adult life, and how to stop the cycle from continuing into the next generation. Some of the topics include: The characteristics of adult children of alcoholics & addicts; How ACoA’s can make peace with the past for a brighter future; What to do when the child of an ACoA is using drugs and alcohol; The steps that ACoA’s need to take to break the cycle of addiction for themselves and their children; and How to recognize the patterns and gain the courage to change.
