Why 12 New Steps for Aco - Tony A - ACA Speaker

Tony Allen presents their perspective on “12 new steps for Adult Children of Alcoholics (Aco)”, arguing for their necessity as the traditional AA steps, which focus on alcohol powerlessness, are not fully appropriate for Aco members. They explain that Aco individuals are powerless over the effects of living with alcoholism, leading to distinct personality profiles marked by fear, low self-esteem, and difficulty with emotional expression. Tony Allen’s proposed steps emphasize self-love, spiritual awakening, and addressing the unique traumas experienced by children of alcoholics to foster genuine healing and connection.
