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 ot the alcoholic.
[Reprinted from the Al-Anon/Alateen Service Manual (P-24/27)]
Alcoholics Anonymous and Alanon have helped 1,000's and 1,000's of individuals and families. Recovery from addictions and the effects of someone else's addiction began in the 1930's and continues today. Women and men from early teens to very old have entered the rooms of AA and Alanon to participate in the discussions and fellowship. Some come to just listen and learn. Nothing is required but desire. You may find encouragement and supported with the use of the 12 Steps. Research, from many differing sources, demonstrate that the 12 Steps are clearly a part of Gods plan (they are Scripturally based). These 12 Steps are a planned course of action that will bring, and help to maintain a clean and sober lifestyle, as wells as freedom from the affects of another person's use, whether it be a parent, a husband, a friend. You can be happy, joyous, and free!!! The meetings are open to anyone interested. You are welcome! So come and be a part...Friday night's at 6PM. Call L.I.F.E. for more information: 727.847.0222.
