Who Are We?

Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA)/Dysfunctional Families is a Twelve Step, Twelve Tradition program of men and women who grew up in dysfunctional homes.

We meet to share our experience of growing up in an environment where abuse, neglect and trauma infected us. This affects us today and influences how we deal with all aspects of our lives.

ACA provides a safe, nonjudgmental environment that allows us to grieve our childhoods and conduct an honest inventory of ourselves and our family—so we may (i) identify and heal core trauma, (ii) experience freedom from shame and abandonment, and (iii) become our own loving parents.

The in-person ACA Business Conference & World Convention scheduled for next April in Boca Raton has been postponed until 2021 due to Covid-19. There will be a virtual Annual Business Conference held and possibly some virtual AWC component. Please stay up to date here:

"God, grant me the serenity

To accept the people I cannot change,

The courage to change the one I can,

And the wisdom to know that one is me."
