Statement of Purpose Al-Anon's Suggested Preamble to The Twelve Steps
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.
Help is here for the asking. Please take
a moment to ask yourself these questions: "Are You
Troubled By Someone's Drinking?" or "Did You Grow Up With A Problem Drinker?"
If you identify with some of these statements, it is important to know that
help and hope for friends and families of alcoholics is just a phone call away.
