WHAT DO PEOPLE DO IN AL-ANON AND ALATEEN?
The AL-ANON and ALATEEN programs consist primarily of independently operated meetings of people who gather to share their experience, strength and hope with one another, and to learn how to apply the principles of AL-ANON to their own recovery from the effects of someone else’s drinking. AL-ANON meetings may cooperate with one another to produce additional events and services for its participants and for the public, including conferences, literature distribution and public awareness campaigns. Some AL-ANON participants choose to provide their volunteer services to deliver these and other services. Except for a very small core of administrative staff to support information distribution and publication at the state and worldwide level, AL-ANON service is completely voluntary and non-professional.
