Al-Anon offers a variety of meetings for you to attend: Newcomers, Men’s, Women’s, Topic/Discussion, Literature, Speaker, Steps/Traditions, Parent’s, Spanish and more. Each meeting will have its own “flavor”, so we recommend you try six or more different meetings to find the ones right for you.
Who are Al-Anon meetings for?
The Al-Anon Family Groups are a fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strength, and hope in order to solve their common problems. We believe alcoholism is a family illness and that changed attitudes can aid recovery.

What is an idea behind Al-Anon?
Al‑Anon is self‑supporting through its own voluntary contributions. Al‑Anon has but one purpose: to help families of alcoholics. We do this by practicing the Twelve Steps, by welcoming and giving comfort to families of alcoholics, and by giving understanding and encouragement to the alcoholic.
How do Al Anon email meetings work?
Although the method varies from group to group, typically members post a message to one email address which is automatically forwarded to all other members on the list. Topics are introduced by a “chairperson” one, two or three times a week, and sometimes daily.
