[edit] Emotions Anonymous

Putting Emotions Anonymous back in the list of "See Also" groups. EA's founder originally went to Al-Anon meetings, though she was not related to an alcoholic. — Craigtalbert 08:06, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lois's story

Why was the excerpt from Lois' story removed? — DavidMack 19:04, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

There was no source. — Craigtalbert 23:03, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Put it back in with reference. — DavidMack 23:41, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I like how it fits in the article. Thank you for the reference and adding it back. — Craigtalbert 00:04, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alateen membership

The main paragraph states that Alateen is for teens who are offspring of alcoholics. But, any teen may join Alateen, including those who only have alcoholics for friends, even if their parents aren't alcoholics.rich 03:03, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Good point, reworded. -- Craigtalbert 04:50, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unnecessary acronyms?

There are a few places where acronyms are introduced, but are not used again (e.g. COA, CRAFT, CSO). Are these necessary? Is it a goal of the article to teach these acronyms? Is this information important for people to take away? --Dan Griscom (talk) 22:16, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

They're not necessary, you can remove them if you'd like. If you're interested in the topic, I'm been working on a related article, Alcoholism in family systems in my sandbox. I would appreciate any feedback you might have. -- Scarpy (talk) 00:36, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
