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.

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.
