Summary/Abstract: Alcoholism is a disease that affects the whole family, not just the person who is abusing him. The biggest stigma it imprints on children who grow up and brought up in that family, as the need to adapt to the norms and rules prevailing in the family of alcohol will affect their behavior, reactions and actions. In order to understand and know the substance of the stigma of adult children of alcoholics, it is necessary to know the value system preferred by children, educated in such a family. To do this, there was a study carried out using a diagnostic survey method, which covered the sphere of relations in the family of the alcoholic, the social functioning of children of alcoholics and their self-esteem. Knowledge of these issues made it possible to identify the most important values in life, adult children of alcoholics.
