In a recent advice column, a reader pointed out an error in a response given to a couple dealing with their adult child’s alcoholism. The reader noted that instead of recommending Alcoholics Anonymous, the advice giver should have suggested Al-Anon, a support group for family and friends of alcoholics. The advice giver acknowledged the mistake and thanked the reader for setting the record straight.
Annie Lane, the advice columnist, expressed regret for the mix-up and thanked the reader for their correction. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of providing accurate and appropriate advice in sensitive situations such as dealing with addiction.
In addition to correcting the mistake, Annie Lane’s second anthology, “How Can I Forgive My Cheating Partner?” is now available. The anthology features favorite columns on marriage, infidelity, communication, and reconciliation. Readers can find more information on the book at Creators Publishing.
Readers are encouraged to send their questions to Annie Lane at dearannie@creators.com for advice on a variety of topics. This incident highlights the importance of seeking out the right support and resources when dealing with challenging situations, such as addiction within the family.
