Ana Marie Cox Instagram – I try not to feel too bad about this — it’s a family disease, after all. But, it’s true, I have raised a large adult son of an alcoholic.
Exley can’t come with me to meetings, but I’ve filled our home with recovery literature (that, uh, he can’t read, BUT… VIBES) and we often meditate and pray together.
Molly and Bram have somehow escaped this fate (they’re frighteningly well-actualized) perhaps because they were not raised by *two* alcoholics? Or, you know, cats. Less prone to co-dependency.
If you wonder about being an ACA, check out the “Laundry List” (Google it!). ACA has been an incredible program for my recovery. Exley will need someone to listen to his Fifth Step and it can’t be me, so maybe if one of you starts now…
