I Got AA when i was 26. I am now 32.. I have had AA and AT in this 6 and half year time span. When I got AA I had no idea what it was what I had. Never heard of it. I went through depression,denial, shots and pills. Im finally able to live with this disease. I cant say i accept it. In my mind its something you never truly accept.
Hi Brandie,
I know how hard it is...I've been through it all. Had it for 30 years! I have accepted it, and written a book. Let me know if you need any help!

Hi Brandi, Nice to meet you. By all means what ever I can do to help. let me say I know exactly what you are going through, it is so scary. What I did around when my son was 5 and started school we went to counseling, and his school and my friend who has AU were also supportive. We did many things to keep Joe confident. I have to say AA did effect him,there were times my insides came out for him. But remember if they are not getting teased for this it would probably be for something else. So you have to empower them. My Joe is now 19, his AA isn't even a thought to him now. He is attending A Music Conservatory. I think having AA taught him how to focus on the positive. I hope this helped .

I was just wondering if you have got to attend any NAAF conference yet?
