2010 Workshop and Festival

Every year since 1989, Al-Anon Adult Children in Illinois have hosted a weekend Workshop and Festival to aid in our recovery. It is intended to be a recovery weekend for all Adult Children and the people who love them. This includes all Al-Anon members and anyone else in recovery from the effects of growing up or living in an alcoholic home. Many members of other 12-Step groups such as AA, ACOA, OA, and CODA also find this event helpful to their own programs. Each year, recovering friends come from all over the country to experience the weekend. We invite you to visit the rest of our website, and to join us for the upcoming Workshop and Festival.

Discovering MY CHOICES

Discovering MYSELF

The Theme for the 2010 Workshop and Festival is

"Discovering My Choices;
Discovering Myself"

based on Al-Anon's recent book "Discovering Choices",

For adult children of alcoholics, making any choices (let alone good choices) is a major challenge in life. Often issues of inadequacy, perfectionism, fears of all sorts, depression and anxiety, and dread of commitment leave us stuck at the decision points in the journey through life. This weekend is designed to help adult children discover our inner experiences, strengths, and hopes, and in so doing, discover healthier choices for our present and our futures.
