Al-Anon is a self-help recovery program for people who believe their lives may have been affected by someone else’s drinking. We come together to find help and support in dealing with the effects of alcoholism on our lives. The single purpose of these programs is to help families and friends of alcoholics, whether the alcoholic is drinking or not.

Al-Anon is an international “fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strength, and hope in order to solve their common problems.” The group’s purpose is to “help families of alcoholics by practicing the Twelve Steps, by welcoming and giving comfort to families of alcoholics, and by giving understanding and encouragement to the alcoholic.”
