"If one person gets well, the whole family situation improves.”

- LIVING WITH SOBRIETY

Love Someone with a Drinking Problem? 

We've been there too. Al-Anon and Alateen Family Groups are a fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who meet to 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 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.
