Gillian and Julie both grew up in New Zealand in families affected by alcoholism. Both went on to marry alcoholics and then separate from them.

Gillian and Julie found help in Al-Anon Family Groups and discovered people who understood their situation. They were able to understand the impact of alcoholism had on their extended family and to acknowledge the part they unconsciously played in the family disease of alcoholism.

If someone else's drinking is causing you a problem then you can phone the Al-Anon Family Groups helpline on 1300 252 666 or go online at al-anon.org.au.
