This is official Adult Children of Alcoholics World Service Organization (ACA WSO) Conference Approved Literature.

The ACA Twelve Steps of Adult Children (commonly referred to as the Yellow Workbook or YWB) is a Steps workbook. The ACA Yellow Workbook was anonymously written by ACA members and provides guidance on working the 12 Step ACA program leading to recovery from the effects of growing up in an alcoholic or otherwise dysfunctional family. ACA WSO has adapted AA's Steps (with permission from AA) to address the effects of childhood trauma and neglect and offer hope to Adult Children worldwide. The Twelve Steps of Adult Children Workbook provides members with a detailed series of exercises and questionnaires that can be used by individuals either in a one-on-one Fellow Traveler (Sponsorship) or in group studies. This workbook describes the 12 steps of ACA used to achieve recovery from the dysfunctional traits of codependence that children develop and carry into adulthood as a result of growing up in dysfunctional families, no matter the cause of the dysfunction. What is an Adult Child? The concept of Adult Child came from the Alateens who began the Hope for Adult Children of Alcoholics meeting. The original members of our fellowship, who were over eighteen years old, were adults; but as children they grew up in alcoholic homes. Adult Child also means that when confronted, we regress to a stage in our childhood. ACA History-an interview with Tony A., 1992.
