Identity Papers Booklet

This important downloadable digital e-booklet contains the three reports that gave the Adult Children of Alcoholics 12 step program its identity and purpose over 20 years ago during the formative years of our fellowship. The Identity Papers include the foundational language, focus, and method of recovery that sets ACA apart from other Twelve Step fellowships.

ACA is a spiritual program based on action coming from love. It was created for people who have some or all of the 14 survival traits commonly known as the Laundry List. These are the personality traits that people who grow up in dysfunctional families frequently share.

The Adult Children of Alcoholics / Dysfunctional Families 12 step program is often the only program for many adult children recovering from growing up in a home with alcoholism or other family dysfunction. ACA meetings are intended to be safe places where we can share our experience, strength and hope without judgment or criticism.

The program is recommended for people who have suffered abuse, neglect, abandonment, and trauma in childhood due to the behavior of addicted or dysfunctional immature parents. They often do not fully realize the impact these actions had on them until they are in the recovery process. This booklet provides answers that newcomers might have before they attend their first ACA meeting.
