Welcome to Families Anonymous

Does someone you care about use drugs?

As addiction takes hold of a loved one’s life, it can feel hopeless. Families Anonymous offers support for parents, partners, relatives, and friends. Experience shows that those who attend FA meetings and follow the 12-Step program gain valuable strength and support which, in turn, helps their addicted loved one too.

When someone you love is addicted, it affects everything. The sleepless nights, the fear, the shame, the exhaustion of trying to fix something that feels unfixable , it’s relentless.
You don’t have to keep doing this alone.
Families Anonymous is a fellowship of people who truly understand because we’ve lived it too. Through our 12-Step programme and weekly meetings, you’ll find the strength, hope, and support to reclaim your own life.
Help is here. You just have to reach out.
