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.
