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.
