Al-Anon/Alateen Preamble 

   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.
