Al-Anon and Alateen Family Groups hold weekly meetings for the relatives and friends of alcoholics or addicts who share their experience, strength, and hope, in order to solve problems associated with the family disease of alcoholism and/or drug addiction. We believe the disease affects all members of the family, and that changed attitudes can aid recovery.
Al-Anon is not affiliated with any outside entity or religious organization. We do not engage in any public issues nor endorse or oppose any other causes. There are no dues for membership. Al-Anon accepts voluntary contributions from its members.
Al-Anon has one purpose: to help families and friends of alcoholics. We do this by studying and practicing the Twelve Steps. We welcome all families and friends of alcoholics. Finally, we offer understanding and encouragement to the alcoholic.
If you are concerned with someone else's drinking or drug use, then Al-Anon program can help you. Al-Anon was founded over 50 years ago by families of alcoholics who had found recovery in Alcoholics Anonymous. Today, many Al-Anon/Alateen members are finding serenity despite a friend or family member having an active drinking/drug problem or a struggle with sobriety.
