Al-anon
|
Al-Anon/Alateen, known as Al-Anon Family Groups, is an international "fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strength, and hope in order to solve their common problems." They "help families of alcoholics by practicing the Twelve Steps, by welcoming and giving comfort to families of alcoholics, and by giving understanding and encouragement to the alcoholic." Alateen is part of Al-Anon and is their Twelve-step program of recovery for young people affected by another's drinking, generally aged 13 to 19 years (varies depending on each group). "Alateen groups are sponsored by Al-Anon members." Al-Anon was formed in 1951 by Lois Wilson, wife of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) co-founder Bill Wilson. She recognized the need for such an organization as family members living with AA members began to identify their own pathologies associated with their family members' alcoholism. In the USA, Al-Anon Family Groups incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization called Al-Anon Family Group Headquarters, Inc. Alateen took its own name and formation in 1957. In Lois's Story, she explained why, as the spouse of an alcoholic, she also required treatment. After a while I began to wonder why I was not as happy as I ought to be, since the one thing I had been yearning for all my married life [Bill's sobriety] had come to pass. Then one Sunday, Bill asked me if I was ready to go to the meeting with him. To my own astonishment as well as his, I burst forth with "Damn your old meetings!" and threw a shoe as hard as I could.

Alcoholism and old family issues--long story. What a waste! Asked by Jaydens dads dominatrix - Wed Sep 10 14:40:20 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. My mom went to Al-Anon some, while I was in AA. I was there for drug addictions to cocaine and opiates. I didn't have an alcohol problem at all. It was a good source for my mom and taught her somewhat how to deal with me through my recovery. This in turn, helped me since she learned how to react to certain situations. I suggest it. Answered by Blessed with a Boy on 11/21/10 - Wed Sep 10 15:10:16 2008 Are there meetings something like AA or al-anon for depression that you can go to asap?
Q. I don't know if this is true, but like with AA you can look up a meeting near you and just go. Is there anything like that for depression? Thank you all for your help. I know I can keep myself calm through this. Hopefully other people can too. Asked by AlwaysInquisitive - Sat Dec 20 18:03:01 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A.
