SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ — Is someone's drinking bothering you? Al-Anon and AlaTeen can help.

Starting January 8, Al-Anon will officially come to South Brunswick. Aaron Millman, a student assistance counselor at South Brunswick High School, has worked very hard in the past year to establish Alanon and Alateen in the South Brunswick community.

Al-Anon is a confidential fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics. After all, alcoholism "is a family disease." At meetings, they share experiences, strength and hope; discuss difficulties; learn effective ways to cope with problems and encourage one another in recovery.
