Welcome to the San Diego County Al-Anon Family Group
Web Site
Al-Anon's Purpose
To help families and friends of alcoholics recover from
the effects of living with the problem drinking of a relative
or friend. Similarly, Alateen is our recovery program for
young people. Alateen groups are sponsored by Al-Anon members.
Our program of recovery is adapted from Alcoholics
Anonymous and is based upon the Twelve Steps, Twelve Traditions,
and Twelve Concepts of Service.
The only requirement for membership is that
there be a problem of alcoholism in a relative or friend.
Whether the alcoholic is still drinking or
not, Al-Anon/Alateen offers hope and recovery to all people
affected by the alcoholism of a loved one or friend.
Al-Anon/Alateen is not affiliated with any
other organization or outside entity.
Groups
Al-Anon meetings are held in 115 countries. There are over
24,000 Al-Anon and over 2,300 Alateen groups worldwide.
