The family member or friend with a drinking problem may be living, deceased or no longer a part of a person’s life. However, the effects of living with and loving an alcoholic or problem drinker can last a lifetime without help. With the help of Al-Anon/Alateen, members are able to recover from the affects of another person’s drinking by changing their behavior and attitudes. At the weekly meetings members share their experiences about how they apply the principles of the Al-Anon program to their daily lives. A safe and trustworthy environment is provided as Al-Anon Family Groups respect the anonymity of its members and the confidentiality of discussions at the meetings. Al-Anon Family Groups is a spiritual rather than religious program. The principles of the program are applicable to anyone regardless of their background. Al-Anon and Alateen are compatible with professional care because members do not give each other advice. Al-Anon Family Groups is not affiliated with any individuals, entities or organizations. They are self supporting through the sale of their literature and members’ voluntary contributions. There are no dues or fees for membership. An advanced appointment is not necessary for an adult to attend an Al-Anon meeting or for a teenager to attend Alateen.
