Al-Anon /Alateen Family Groups
Ventura County District 12
Hope and Help for Families and Friends of Alcoholics
Let It Begin With Me.
When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help let the hand of Al-Anon and Alateen always be there and Let It Begin With Me.
~Al-Anon Declaration~
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.
