Al-Anon is for
the families and friends of people with an alcohol problem.
Al-Anon Family Groups provide
support to anyone whose life is, or has been, affected by someone else’s
drinking. We believe alcoholism affects the whole family, not just the
drinker. We are an international organization. Al-Anon is a fellowship of
relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience in order to
solve their common problems.
Someone else's
drinking can affect your life - be it a relative or friend, male or female.
Someone else's
uncontrolled, and uncontrollable, drinking can:
 | turn love to hate
|
| bring you to the
depths of despair |
| affect you
financially |
| lead to violent
outbursts |
| make you doubt your
own sanity so that you wonder if you have driven your partner or family
member to drink and that you are the problem. |
Whatever your
relationship to the drinker, whatever your story, Al-Anon can help.
Al-Anon Family Groups
hold regular meetings where members sharing their own experience of living
with alcoholism and of how they cope. Al-Anon does not offer advice or
counseling, but members give each other understanding, strength and hope.
