From my family member's experience with AA and the other support groups are all about each member sharing their own experiences and helping one another cope with not taking that next drink or doing the next needle.

I still have the code that allowed me to at least to want to try BYU Law School. So it is usually my other family members who have had other kinds of addiction problems.

I have dropped a relative many times off at an AA meeting of some kind. Or waited outside an AA closed meeting for my relative(s) to get out.
