Welcome
to the Memphis Area Al-Anon Family Groups. Information
on Al-Anon & Alateen can be found here. |
The
Al-Anon message is simply a story of HOPE. Women
and men, who once felt alone and frustrated
with dealing with the problem of alcoholism
in a loved one, now are no longer lost or lonely.
In Al-Anon they have learned simple steps to
help themselves and their family deal with the
cunning, baffling disease of alcoholism. |

| What
is AL-Anon? |
Al-Anon
and Alateen Family Groups hold weekly meetings for
the relatives and friends of alcoholics who share
their experience, strength, and hope, in order to
solve problems associated with the family disease
of alcoholism. We believe the disease affects all
members of the family, and that changed attitudes
can aid recovery.
|
| Is
Al-Anon for Me? |
Al-Anon
is for families, relatives, and friends whose lives
have been affected by someone else's drinking.
If someone close to you, such as a family member,
friend, co-worker, or neighbor, has or has had a
drinking problem then Al-Anon may be right for you.
Millions
of people are affected by the excessive drinking
of someone close. Only you can decide whether the
Al-Anon program is right for you. Your answers to
one or more of the following questions may determine
whether Al-Anon can help you. If you answer yes
to any of the following, we welcome you to share
our fellowship and the rich rewards that are certain
to follow.
|
-
Are you the wife, husband, relative, or friend
of a problem drinker who still refuses help?
-
Are you concerned with a member of AA who is still
having trouble with alcohol?
-
Though
the alcoholic member of your life may now be sober,
do you still feel your home life is insecure or
difficult?
-
Do
you understand fully how alcoholism and its consequences
may have warped your own thinking and personality?
-
Do
you know you can find understanding, friendship
and help in the Al-Anon program whether the alcoholic
has sobered up or not?
-
Do
you know that your own ability to face every life
problem serenely and with a constructive attitude
can be an important factor in helping your entire
family recover from the problems caused by alcohol
abuse in the family?
If
you identify with some of the sentiments, we encourage
you to give Al-Anon or Alateen a try! |

Serenity
Prayer
"God grant me the serenity to accept
the things I cannot change, courage to change
the things I can, and the wisdom to know the
difference." |
