The Al-Anon Family Groups consist of relatives and friends of alcoholics who, by banding together, can better solve their common problems. Both before and after the alcoholic joins A.A. or if they do not seek help, there is a great deal that the families can do to help themselves and the alcoholic.
The purpose of Al-Anon are threefold: to welcome and give comfort to the families of alcoholics; and to give understanding and encouragement to the alcoholic and to grow spiritually through living by the 12 Steps of Al-Anon.
Al-Anon meetings are closed to outsiders (unless otherwise noted) to protect the anonymity of members. Attendance, therefore, is limited to relatives and friends, those affected by close contact with the alcoholic.The general public and professionals working with the alcoholic may inquire about open meetings by contacting the Information Services.
