NanaMcGeek, I understand what you mean about your son being able to talk openly to the others in his group. This was how I felt at FA. I hadn't been able to talk about anything to do with my close family member's dependency issues to anyone at all. To be able to hear how others coped and how they had learned to approach different problems without feeling they, or their own family members were being judged, helped me a lot.
I think it will depend on the circumstances, because 'one cap may not fit all', but in my own case FA has been such a help.
My family member hasn't hit rock - bottom, though he had been very close to it at one point. He is doing fine at present.
One day at a time.
