Al-Anon Family Groups provide support to anyone whose life is, or has been, affected by someone else’s drinking, regardless of whether that person is still drinking or not.  For some of our members, the wounds still run deep, even if their loved one may no longer be a part of their lives or have died. We believe alcoholism affects the whole family, not just the drinker.
Al-Anon is a fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience in order to solve their common problems.
For the friends and family of the alcoholic, the key to serenity is finding the wisdom to know the difference between what they can and cannot change.
"... we discover that no situation is really hopeless, and that it is possible for us to find contentment, and even happiness, whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not.
