Excerpt(s):
How will Al-Anon help me?
Many who come to Al-Anon/Alateen are in despair, feeling hopeless, unable to believe that things can ever change. We want our lives to be different, but nothing we have done has brought about change. We all come to Al-Anon because we want and need help.
In Al-Anon and Alateen, members share their own experience, strength, and hope with each other. You will meet others who share your feelings and frustrations, if not your exact situation. We come together to learn a better way of life, to find happiness whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not.

Al-Anon can help you:
- Hear others’ experiences
- Find healthier ways to respond to the addicted person
- Understand your own role in addiction and recovery
- Learn the importance of supporting your loved one
- Focus on today using the “one step at a time” approach
Al-Anon is not for people trying to find their own recovery. It is only for the people who love and care for them.
