View service details and official next stepsAl-Anon members provide one another with mutual support, by sharing their experiences with each other at an Al-Anon meeting. Al-Anon meetings are a safe place where you can talk about your own concerns and feelings. If you don’t feel able or willing to talk, that’s OK too. Whatever your story or background, you won’t be judged. We also offer literature about various aspects of alcoholism and the Al-Anon principles, which include the Twelve Steps.

It is suggested that you attend at least six meetings before you decide if Al-Anon is for you.
