Al-Anon Is a worldwide organization that offers a program of recovery for the families and friends of alcoholics whether or not the alcoholic seeks help or even recognizes the existence of a drinking problem.
Members give and receive comfort and understanding through a mutual exchange of experiences, strength and hope. Sharing of similar problems binds individuals and groups together in a bond that is protected by a policy of anonymity.
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 is not a religious organization or a counseling agency.
It is not a treatment center nor is it allied with any other organization offering such services. Al-Anon Family Groups, which includes Alateen for teenage members, neither expresses opinions on outside issues nor endorses outside enterprises.
Membership is voluntary, requiring only that one's own life has been adversely affected by someone else's drinking problem.
Today these men women, and children have courage and confidence. They have found understanding and learned what to do to help themselves — and this can indirectly help their alcoholic relatives, loved ones, and friends, whether sober or not.
Al-Anon will always be what we its members make it. Al-Anon believes that our benefits are measured by our willingness to share them with others.
For we know we can never give as much as we receive.
