Welcome

Are you troubled by someone else’s drinking? Al-Anon /Alateen Family Groups can help.

What is Al-Anon?

Al‑Anon is an anonymous fellowship. Membership is open to anyone who feels his or her life has been affected by someone else’s drinking, either currently or in the past. All family members and friends of problem drinkers are welcome to attend Al‑Anon meetings in order to decide for themselves whether Al‑Anon can benefit them. New members are encouraged to attend different meetings, to find groups where they feel most comfortable.

Each Al-Anon Family Group has but one purpose: to help families of alcoholics. We do this by practicing the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) ourselves, by encouraging and understanding our alcoholic relatives, and by welcoming and giving comfort to families of alcoholics.

How can Al-Anon/Alateen Help You?

We who live, or have lived, with the problem of alcoholism understand as perhaps few others can. We, too, were lonely and frustrated, but in Al-Anon & Alateen we discover that no situation is really hopeless and that it is possible for us to find contentment, and even happiness, whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not.

The Al-Anon Family Groups are a fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strength, and hope,in order to solve their common problems. We believe alcoholism is a family illness and that changed attitudes can aid recovery.

We urge you to try our program. It has helped many of us find solutions that lead to serenity. The newcomers page answers many commonly asked questions about the Al-Anon/Alateen fellowship.
