GSOM Al-Anon Family Groups

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 Family Group Headquarters, Inc. 2005. All Rights Reserved.

The philosophy of Al-anon is to give back. We have no dues or fees, but there are expenses to maintain this site. Please donate every time we pass the basket at a meeting. Even a small donation will help to keep this program available online. Please click on the "Donate" button to the right of each chat room.
