Thank you for your interest in Al-Anon/Alateen Family Groups in District 5, Pasco/Hernando/Citrus counties, Florida. Al-Anon Family Groups have one focus: to help families and friends of problem drinkers. Al-Anon has been in existence for more than 50 years as a way to find recovery for those affected by someone else’s drinking. Al-Anon meetings are held in more than 115 countries and there are over 31,000 Al-Anon and Alateen meetings worldwide. According to the 2009 Al-Anon Membership Survey, about 95 percent of Al-Anon members reported that attending Al-Anon Family Group meetings has helped them improve their mental and physical well being.
The Survey also reported that one in three Al-Anon members first came to Al-Anon Family Groups because of a friend or relative who had a drug problem. But after learning more about alcoholism and its effects, nearly nine in ten came to realize that alcohol abuse was also part of the overall problem, which included both alcohol and drugs.
All Al-Anon Meetings are “closed” unless otherwise noted on the meeting schedule, as “open”. Closed Al-Anon meetings are for anyone who has been affected by someone else’s drinking. Open meetings are for members and anyone who would like to learn more about the Al-Anon/Alateen program. Closed Alateen meetings are for young people less than 19 years of age, accompanied by adults who have been certified and gone through a background check by the North Florida Al-Anon Area, as people who are safe to be with children. Click on the Find a Meeting page for a list of meetings in Pasco, Hernando and Citrus counties.
We encourage you to visit the Al-Anon World Service Office (WSO) website at www.al-anon-alateen.org where you will find links to information regarding the Al-Anon program, including a link for Professionals where you can request a packet of materials. If you would be interested in having an Al-Anon speaker for a professional meeting or conference, please click on the Contacts page and send an email message to our District Representative regarding your request. We will get back to you as soon as possible. We look forward to hearing from you to answer any questions you might have.
Thank you again for your interest in the worldwide fellowship of Al-Anon and Alateen.
