Question by Mimi M: What should I expect at an Al-Anon meeting?
I want to go to this support group because my husband is an out of control alcoholic. What will happen when I go? Will I have to participate or can I just watch? What happens if I have a complete meltdown? What are the rules I need to follow? Any advice for a newbie?

It just allows support for yourself. You will not be asked to participate, you do so if you want to. It just lets you know how to deal w/ an alcoholic and know that there is help on the opposite end (your end) as well. By the way, I am an alcoholic, and some of my family goes to Al-Anon as well. You’ll be find, best wishes!

Question by taylor: My parents took my weed.?
My parents took .5 grams from me about 9 months ago. They kept it in case they caught me smoking or I case I acted up around th house they would use it against me and get me arrested. I’m not worried by any means because of how minuscule the amount is there’s no physical evidence tying me to it so it would basically be my word against theirs. I’m 17 and live in New Jersey
Should I be concerned or no?
