Why attend an Al-Anon Family Group meeting

• To learn the facts about alcoholism as an illness and to fully understand how it has affected their lives physically and emotionally.
• To benefit from contact with others who have similar problems
• To improve their own attitudes and behaviour through the study and practice of the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions.
• Attendance at a meeting does not involve any cost or fees we do however suggest a voluntary contribution for the cost of the meeting venue and refreshments.
