Al-Anon and Alateen
Family Groups
of
The Al-Anon and Alateen 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 and Alateen is not allied with any sect, denomination, political entity, 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
and Alateen has but one purpose: to help families and friends 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.
