Who Attends Al-Anon Meetings?

Al-Anon is for friends and family members of alcoholics. We come together to share our experience, strength and hope in order to solve our  common problems. 

 

Al-Anon is not allied with any sect, denomination, political entity, organizatio, or institution. 

 

There are no dues or fees. Al-Anon is self-supporting through its own voluntary contributions.

Al-Anon has but one purpose: to help families of alcoholics!

Four Primary Ideas

  1. We are powerless over the problem of alcoholism. When we can honestly accept this truth, it brings us a feeling of release and hope. We can turn our full attention to bringing our own lives into order.
  2. We can turn our lives over to a Power greater than ourselves. We realize we cannot deal with our problem objectively, perhaps not even sanely. In Al-Anon we find a Power greater than ourselves which can direct our lives into quiet, useful channels.
  3. We need to change both our attitude and our actions. We begin to see how much of our thinking is distorted. We realize how unwise some of our actions have been, how unloving many of our attitudes. We try to recognize and correct these faults.
  4. We keep Al-Anon's gifts by sharing them with others. Leading another person from despair to hope brings comfort to both the giver and the receiver.

Try at least 6 meetings before you decide if Al-Anon will help.
