Has your life been affected by another person’s drinking? Does a friend or relative’s use of alcohol bother you? Alcoholics can go to AA for support, what about everyone else affected by drinking?<\/p>\n
You are welcome at Al-Anon meetings. Al-Anon is a mutual support group to recover from the effects of the disease of alcoholism. You will find love, understanding, and hope from the Al-Anon family group.<\/p>\n
