If not that, the baby won’t be growing up in a healthy environment. Children should be able to come into this world loved and wanted, not by force from the law. Anything by force rarely ends well.

Most of these meetings are are open to anyone but sometimes meetings are closed for those who really want to quit drinking. Most of these meetings are held in community buildings or in churches.
