Support Groups for Families

Alcoholism is often called a progressive disease. Because the change is so gradual over a long period of time, few alcoholics notice the point at which their drinking metamorphoses from occasional abuse into full-fledged dependence.

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.

Nar-Anon is a twelve-step program designed to help relatives and friends of addicts recover from the effects of living with an addicted relative or friend.

Al-Anon Family Groups has an extensive library of Conference Approved Literature, explaining how the program works and how it has helped friends and families of alcoholics.

Conference approved literature from the official Al-Anon/Alateen web site. Online order form available.
