Al-Anon Family Groups - Cheryl 2 December 2021

Cheryl grew up in Massachusetts, USA, in the 1950s in a family affected by alcoholism. It was only when she was sent away to school that she was given the structure that she needed. Later, as she built her career, Cheryl discovered that several of the survival skills that she had learnt in her childhood home had become personal attributes that were highly valued in the workplace, but she also learned that they were detrimental to building healthy intimate relationships at home. Since becoming a member of Al-Anon, Cheryl has experienced the joy and fulfilment that comes from a life devoted to love and kindness.
