AL-ANON IS:
- A fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who believe
their lives have been affected by someone else's drinking.
- A self-help recovery program based on the Twelve Steps of
Alcohlics Anonymous (AA).
- A nonprofessional fellowship where members share their experience,
strength and hope to solve their common problems.
- An anonymous program with the identity of all Al-Anon and
AA members protected.
- A spiritual program that is compatible with all religious
beliefs or none.
- A program with the single purpose of helping families and
friends of alcoholics, whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not.
- A worldwide fellowship with more than 30,000 groups, in over
104 countries, that has been in existence since 1951.
- Free of charge and self-supporting through members' voluntary
contributions. There are no dues or fees for membership.
Please take a moment to ask yourself these questions, "Are
you troubled by someone's drinking?" and "Did
you grow up with a problem drinker?" If you answered, "Yes"
to these questions, Al-Anon is for YOU!
