WHAT IS AL-ANON AND ALATEEN?
What is Al-Anon?
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.
Al-Anon
is not allied with any sect, denomination, political entity, organization,
or institution; does not engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor
opposes any cause. There are no dues for membership. Al-Anon is
self-supporting through its own voluntary contributions.
Al-Anon
has but one purpose: to help families of alcoholics. We do this by
practicing the Twelve Steps, by welcoming and giving comfort to families
of alcoholics, and by giving understanding and encouragement to the
alcoholic.

young people and it is sponsored by Al-Anon members.
