Lost Childhood: Growing Up In An Alcoholic Family – A follow up
gathering to the widely attended program at FCB on addictions last

the
enormous pressure on youth and adults to use drugs and alcohol,
exploring all the questions surrounding these issues, whether or not
it directly impacts you.
A jumping off point for discussion, this half-hour, award-winning
documentary shows young children of alcoholics who describe their
experiences with honesty and wisdom, and then following up 17 years
later with two who discuss the critical impact of the help they
received in their childhood.
If you cannot come but are interested in seeing more programs like
this at FCB (like other churches), please contact Jeanne Widmer or

Widmer (jwidmer @uubelmont.org).
