Welcome to the Memphis Area Al-Anon Information Service.

If you are bothered by someone’s drinking, Al-Anon/Alateen family groups may be able to help. We are a fellowship of men, women and children who share our experience, strength and hope in order to solve our common problems. Al-Anon’s program of recovery is based on the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions adapted from Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).

Is Al-Anon/Alateen for you?

The primary purpose of Al-Anon/Alateen is to help families and friends of alcoholics. Alateen is part of Al-Anon and is for young people ages 12 to 18 who have been affected by another’s drinking. Members of Al-Anon/Alateen learn to live happily whether the alcoholic continues to drink or not. We learn that alcoholism is a disease and that we are not alone. By putting the
focus on ourselves, we begin to reclaim our lives.

• Take a short quiz:
  • "Are you troubled by someone's drinking?"
  • "Did you grow up with a problem drinker?"
  • "Has your life been affected by someone else's drinking?"
• Try a meeting. Al-Anon Meetings are free, anonymous and confidential.
• Contact the Memphis Area Al-Anon Information Service.

If you identify with some of these sentiments, we encourage you to give Al-Anon or Alateen a try!
