Welcome to the web site of the Al-Anon Family Groups
in District 5 of
What is Al-Anon?
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.
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 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.

Al-Anon is a
worldwide fellowship
that
offers a program
of
recovery for the families and friends of alcoholics, whether
or not the alcoholic recognizes the existence of a drinking problem or seeks help.
Members give and receive comfort and understanding through a mutual exchange of
experience, strength and hope. Sharing of similar problems binds
individuals and groups together in a bond that is protected by a tradition of
anonymity.
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 young members, usually teenagers, neither express opinions on
outside issues nor endorse outside enterprises. No dues or fees are required.
Membership is voluntary, requiring only that one's own life has been adversely
affected by someone else's drinking problem.

Al-Anon pamphlet, “Detachment.”
