An Al-Anon Member's Personal Story.
The Alcoholism Guide
Find out more about alcoholism and how it can affect not only the drinker, but everyone around him/her. What are the symptoms? What are the long-term effects?
Find a Meeting
Al-Anon is a mutual support group of peers who share their experience in applying the Al-Anon principles to problems related to the effects of a problem drinker in their lives. Find a meeting near you.
Online Meetings
While Online Al-Anon should not substitute for person-to-person Al-Anon Family Group membership, due to its limitations in providing true personal contact with others in recovery, Al-Anon on the Internet has many advantages.
Al-Anon Chat Meetings
There are at least 15 Al-Anon Family Groups meetings a week at StepChat.com. No special software or plug-ins are needed to participate in these live meetings.
Al-Anon Books
Some of the most popular books for alcoholics, their friends and families, adult children of alcoholics, teens living with alcoholic parents, partners who have been diagnosed or who consider themselves codependent, as well as Christians in recovery.
The loving interchange of help among members and daily reading of Al-Anon literature thus make us ready to receive the priceless gift of serenity.
