Slide 3-Barry Al Anon provides strength and hope for friends and families of problem drinkers. AA is a fellowship of men and women who share experiences, strength and hope for each other that they may solve their common problem and help others recover from alcoholism. It is a free organisation and is not allied with any other institution. Slide 4-Barry Recovery starts with admitting you have a problem with alcohol. In early stages of change, denial is a huge obstacle. It can help to think about the costs of drinking to prevent yourself from doing so.
