Welcome to Families Anonymous
Does someone you care about use drugs?
When addiction takes hold of someone you love, it can feel as though your world has been turned upside down. The worry is relentless, the sleepless nights stack up, and no matter what you try, nothing seems to make a difference. You may feel completely alone, and utterly lost.
You do not have to face this alone
Living alongside addiction is exhausting. It affects every part of your life, your relationships, your mental health, your sense of self. Many families suffer in silence for years, not knowing where to turn or whether anyone could possibly understand what they are going through.
You do not have to face this alone. Families Anonymous is a fellowship of people who truly understand, because they have been there too.
By attending FA meetings and working the 12-Step programme, families and friends find the strength, clarity and support they never thought possible, and experience shows that when those around an addicted loved one begin to heal, it can make a real difference to the person struggling too.
FA is run by the Fellowship, for the Fellowship.
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.
