If we have an addiction in addition to being an adult child, we may also have a sponsor in a program that addresses the addiction. For example, there could be an overeating ACA member with a sponsor in Overeaters Anonymous or a gambling-addicted ACA with a sponsor in Gamblers Anonymous. Many ACA members are recovering addicts in AA and NA as well. While ACA is a way of life that can meet all of our emotional and spirtitual meeds, it does not eliminate the need for usefulness of these other probrams. BRB pgs 372-373
