What Is Al-Anon and Alateen?
Al‑Anon is a mutual support program for people whose lives have been affected by someone else’s drinking. By sharing common experiences and applying the Al-Anon principles, families and friends of alcoholics can bring positive changes to their individual situations, whether or not the alcoholic admits the existence of a drinking problem or seeks help.
Alateen, a part of the Al-Anon Family Groups, is a fellowship of young people (mostly teenagers) whose lives have been affected by someone else’s drinking whether they are in your life drinking or not. By attending Alateen, teenagers meet other teenagers with similar situations. Alateen is not a religious program and there are no fees or dues to belong to it.
Holiday Season has rolled around again, for some of us it can be hard. Here are some important reminders for this time of year.
- Get to meetings.
- Pick up the phone and call someone in the program
- Easy Does it.
- Keep it Simple
- Detach with Love.
- Keep Expectations Low and Acceptance High
- Book end meetings with your sponsor. Meet before the event and after the event.
Practice these principles in all your affairs.
