Hi Chris. I did the same exact thing in July. Had never even heard about ACA until I heard about it on a podcast. And then I thought.. my daughter needs this. And I looked at the materials.. and said.. wait.. I need this!!
I'm so glad you found us! You are in for the most exciting and unveiling experiences of your life. I recommend you order the Big Red Book either through the ACA website or Amazon.. or wherever you want. We are here for you individually and collectively. Welcome! Welcome!! Welcome!!!

I have the BRB, Ive read it, now Im attending ITR meetings and want to start my healing journey. Im looking for a fellow traveler/sponsor to guide me through this. Im new to ACA. But I fully, and frighteningly, identify with so many many of the characteristics. O god where has ACA been all my life. Why didn't I know that my inner child suffers from deep shame and abandonment? How can I reclaim him and go through life with ease and confidence?
