Hi everyone, I just wanted to take the time to introduce myself to this wonderful group. I am a man in my early 30s who has struggled for a long time due my mothers alcohol abuse. The pain and suffering left long term scars, and I am now at a place where I want to help others as best I can and contribute to an amazing cause.

    Great to have you with us. We can all identify with the pain and long term scars that having an alcoholic parent brings. I hope that being part of the NACOA community helps you and it's great that you are feeling in a place where you can support others in the same situation, I am sure you will make a great contribution x
