WE are a registered Al-Anon Group and follow WSO guidelines. We are not a social chat group, but an Al-Anon recovery focused group. Al-Anon offers hope and comfort to the families and friends of alcoholics. We do this by practicing the Twelve Steps, the Twelve Traditions and the Twelve Concepts as best we can in the online world, while maintaining Good Orderly Direction.

The Steps help us learn how to love ourselves, trust our Higher Power and begin to heal our relations with others. The Traditions show us how to build healthy relationships within our groups, among our friends and in our families. The Concepts help us extend all that we learn to the world at large…our family, jobs, organizations and communities. We believe alcoholism is a family illness and that changed attitudes CAN aid recovery.

We want our lives to be different, but nothing we have done has brought about change. Al-Anon can help. Recovery is for us also, for we can recover from the effects of someone else's drinking by working the Twelve Step program in Al-Anon and Alateen. Members share their own experience, strength, and hope with each other. We come together to learn a better way of life, to find happiness whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not.
