Here's How:

  1. Telephone numbers for Al-Anon are usually located in the white pages of the local telephone directory.
  2. Some of these numbers are answering services, be prepared to leave a call-back number where you can be reached.
  3. When you are contacted, give your general location.
  4. Ask for the location and times for meetings in your area.
  5. If there is no number listed locally for Al-Anon, call the number for Alcoholics Anonymous, they may have an Al-Anon contact number.
