A Hazelden Publication
One drunk sharing with another, one addict sharing with another--that's how recovery works.
In the '60s, there were about 15 members (from 17 to 39) under the age of 40 who called themselves Denver Young People's. They ran 2 groups and became some of the first in the fellowship to open their rooms to the new flood of Hippies saying, "You are never too young to be an alcoholic."
Colorado's young people put together Hazelden's Classic Day By Day and conducted workshops to create Hazelden's Young, Sober, & Free. Denver's Young People were a driving force for the acceptance of young alcoholics and addicts in 12 Step programs and for the use of the phrase "clean and sober." The book has recently been updated for today's young person with a new chapter for the parent of the young addict/alcoholic.
You don't have to be a math genious to understand numbers. Here are some you should probably be familiar with.
Thank you for coming here looking for help for your son or daughter. There is good news and bad news. The bad news is that you can't contol their use, cure their disease, and you didn't cause this in the first place. The good news is, you can learn NOT to enable, what really works for addiction (as opposed to what sounds good) and become your child's Sober Coach (even if they don't want you too!) Please visit the website for parents, caretakers, and counselors who work with young alcohoics and addicts.
