Experience
In Al-Anon/Alateen meetings, members do not give direction or advice to others. Instead, we share our personal stories and experiences, and invite other members to determine what might work in their own lives.
Strength
As members of Al-Anon, we no longer have to face alcoholism or its effects alone. You may find that you gain personal strength in areas you could never have imagined.
Hope
Attend our Al-Anon meetings held in an atmosphere of acceptance and understanding, where you can expect to find: emotional support, shared experiences, and resources to help you navigate the challenges posed by alcoholism. Give us a try…attend a meeting. We offer various meeting formats, including in-person, virtual, and hybrid. Try several meetings to find one that feels right for you, whether it’s a discussion group or a step study.
There is hope. We can help you find it.
What Is Al-Anon?
The Al-Anon Family Groups (AFG) are a fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strength, and hope in order to solve their common problems. Here’s how Al-Anon has positively impacted members’ lives: “I found hope and support that changed my family dynamics…” – Jane D.
Al-Anon/Alateen is not allied with any sect, denomination, political entity, organization, or institution. There are no dues for membership. Al-Anon/Alateen is self-supporting through its own voluntary contributions. Al-Anon/Alateen has but one purpose: to help families of alcoholics. We do this by practicing the Twelve Steps (adapted from Alcoholics Anonymous), by welcoming and giving comfort to families of alcoholics, and by encouraging and understanding the alcoholic. 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.
